Ready-mix concrete for footings and foundations in Hythe
A footing is the band of concrete a wall is built off, poured into an excavated trench that building control has already inspected. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for footings and foundations across Hythe, where a marsh-side trench and one above the high street need entirely different vehicles to fill them.

The trenches Hythe digs
On the marsh side the foundations are for buildings that do a job: stable blocks, field shelters, store and machinery buildings, and the small foundations under a gateway structure or a feed building. Trench runs are longer, the ground is open, and the volume is often not settled until the trench has been dug and the soft spots taken out.
Above the high street the work is short and careful. Rear additions on period plots, pad footings for outbuildings, and support work inside buildings where a wall or a floor is being altered. There is rarely room to bring a machine in, so the excavation itself is slower than the pour.
Getting a mixer to a trench in Hythe
The pour follows the building control inspection, and after that the two halves of Hythe diverge completely.
Above the high street the climb and the narrow lanes decide it. A loaded lorry on a steep, tight approach with limited standing is a vehicle that has committed itself, and the trench is usually behind the building rather than beside it. Mini-mix and a line pump between them cover most of what happens on that side.
On the marsh, foundations are poured at the point in a job when the site has least made-up ground. A single-track road will bring a vehicle in, and the last stretch across a yard or a paddock entrance is the part that decides whether it can stand near the trench at all. Trench fill is supplied to flow along the excavation, which is only useful if it arrives continuously, so a long final run points at a pump rather than a barrow chain.
★ **The service this page has no local version of.** A farm or stable trench whose final volume is genuinely unknown until it is open is the clearest case for volumetric concrete, mixed on your site with the quantity settled at the end of the pour. See our county page on volumetric and on-site mixed concrete.
