Concrete driveways in Northfleet
A Northfleet driveway pour is set up in this order: agree where a mixer can stand on the road outside, check whether the drive falls towards that road or away from it, then work the pour outwards from the standing position. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for driveways across Northfleet.

Scheme-laid drives, ridge-top replacements and yard aprons
On the development land the drives arrive with the scheme. House drives, parking courts and the aprons between them are laid to a consistent depth on plots with the space to work, and the designation comes off the same drawing as everything else on the site.
On the streets above the ridge the job is the ordinary domestic one on a frontage the house already has: a failed surface taken up and relaid, a widening for a second vehicle, or a side run to a garage.
The commercial version is a different pour under the same heading. Former cement-industry premises and the newer units take yard entrances, loading aprons and vehicle hardstandings, and those are specified for the vehicle that will use them rather than for a car.
Getting the concrete onto the drive in Northfleet
The finished drive is the access route, so the lorry stays on the road and the concrete is worked away from it. That makes the road outside the property the whole question.
On the newer plots and the development land it is a good question with an easy answer. The carriageway is wide, standing is available, and a chute covers a useful part of a domestic drive before anyone reaches for a barrow.
On the older streets on the slope it is neither. A drive on a hillside street means a loaded vehicle standing on a gradient while it discharges, and the drive itself is likely to fall away from the road, so the concrete runs before it is worked rather than after. That fall is also why the surface has to be brushed or tamped rather than closed up smooth, because on a drive that drops away from the highway the texture is doing a safety job and not a decorative one.
Say which of the two you have when you enquire, because the answer changes the vehicle rather than just the timing.
