About Gravesham

Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete across Gravesham, covering Gravesend and Northfleet along with Higham, Meopham, Istead Rise and Shorne. Gravesend and Northfleet run into one another on the ground, so this page carries what the two share and each town page carries what is specific to it.

Where Gravesend ends and Northfleet begins

Honestly, not in a place anyone can point at. The two towns are continuous, and a resident would not draw the same line twice. That is worth saying rather than pretending otherwise, because it affects how an enquiry should be described.

The practical answer: give the street and the nearest main road rather than the town name. An address on the boundary is genuinely ambiguous, and the street is not.

What the two share is the river. Both have riverside and wharf-side commercial premises, and both have older domestic stock set back from it. What separates them is on the two pages below.

Gravesend

Gravesend covers the mixed domestic work across the Victorian terraces and interwar semis, and the riverside industrial and wharf commercial premises on the eastern side. The Gravesend page carries the local detail.

Northfleet

Northfleet covers the large-scale development on the Ebbsfleet land, the Victorian terraced core and the former cement-industry commercial premises. The Northfleet page sets out which half of the town changes what.

Higham, Meopham and the villages

Higham, Meopham, Istead Rise and Shorne sit behind the two towns on higher ground and are all covered. The work there is village and rural in character rather than urban, and the approach lanes are the thing worth describing at enquiry stage.

★ Swanscombe adjoins Northfleet and is not in Gravesham. It sits in Dartford Borough, and it has its own town page. Do not look for it under this district.

Our Services

Concrete services across Gravesham

Concrete Columns
Concrete for a column is specified by a structural engineer, never chosen on site, because the column carries load from everything above it. Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete for columns across Kent and Medway to the designation, consistence and aggregate size on your drawings.
Concrete Driveways
A new driveway over five square metres in England needs planning permission unless surface water drains to a permeable area within your boundary. Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete for driveways across Kent and Medway, and drainage is worth settling first.
Concrete Floors
What concrete a floor needs depends on whether it is ground-bearing or suspended, and on what will run across it. Kent Readymix delivers ready-mix concrete for floors across Kent and Medway, from garage and extension floors to workshop, agricultural and warehouse slabs.
Concrete Pumping
A concrete pump moves concrete from where a mixer can stand to where the concrete is actually needed, through a pipeline or a boom. Kent Readymix arranges concrete pumping across Kent and Medway for pours that a chute cannot reach, and the pump and the concrete are booked together.
Concrete Slabs
A concrete slab is a single continuous pour laid over a compacted sub-base to carry a building, a vehicle or a load. Kent Readymix provides ready-mix concrete for slabs across Kent and Medway, with the grade and volume settled before delivery day.
Concrete Walls
Poured concrete walls include retaining walls, basement and below-ground walls, foundation walls, and agricultural push walls and silage clamps. Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete for walls across Kent and Medway, matched to what the wall is holding back and what it is exposed to.
Footings and Foundations
Foundation concrete is poured into an excavated trench once building control has inspected and passed it. Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete for footings and foundations across Kent and Medway, matched to the depth, ground and designation on your drawings.
General Domestic and Commercial Projects
Plenty of concrete pours are not a slab, a footing or a driveway, and they still need the right mix and the right quantity. Kent Readymix supplies ready-mix concrete for domestic and commercial projects across Kent and Medway, from garden work and post bases to yards, plinths and void fill.
Mini-Mix Delivery
Mini-mix is ready-mix concrete delivered in a smaller mixer that reaches sites a full-size lorry cannot. Kent Readymix arranges mini-mix delivery across Kent and Medway for small pours and narrow access where a full-size vehicle has nowhere to stand.
Volumetric / On-Site Mixed Concrete
A volumetric mixer carries cement, aggregate, sand and water in separate compartments and combines them on site, so the concrete is made at the point of use rather than at a plant. Kent Readymix arranges volumetric concrete across Kent and Medway, and most of our approved suppliers work on a pay-for-what-you-use basis.

All ten of our concrete services cover Gravesham: slabs, footings and foundations, driveways, floors, columns, walls, general domestic and commercial projects, volumetric and on-site mixed concrete, mini-mix delivery and concrete pumping.

Your quotation, delivery and payment are agreed directly with the approved supplier appointed to your pour. Send the detail to hello@kentreadymix.co.uk and an approved supplier will confirm the mix, the volume and the delivery window.
