About Chatham
If you are working on a terraced street at Luton or Wayfield, gradient is your problem before width is. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete across Chatham for householders, builders and developers, and a loaded mixer standing on a Chatham hillside is a different proposition from the same vehicle standing on the level at Chatham Maritime.
Where the concrete goes in Chatham
Chatham splits cleanly in two. The hillside terraces at Luton and Wayfield generate small domestic work: rear garden slabs, extension footings, path and step work, garage bases. Volumes are small and the jobs are frequent.
The dockside is the other Chatham. Chatham Maritime and Chatham Waters carry residential and commercial development on open ground with modern estate roads, and the pours there are floors, foundations and hardstandings at commercial scale.
Standing a loaded mixer on a Chatham hillside
The terraced streets running up from the town are narrow, frequently one-way, and parked on both sides. That alone would make them difficult. The gradient makes them a separate question, because a fully loaded mixer has to stand safely on the slope while it discharges, and the pour is often above or below the standing position rather than level with it.
Two things follow. Mini-mix is worth considering on any hillside terrace job, not because the volume is small but because a smaller vehicle has more places it can stand. And a line pump earns its cost quickly where the alternative is barrowing uphill from the only legal standing position on the street.
Nothing in that paragraph applies at Chatham Maritime, where a full mixer reaches the work and a boom pump has room to set up.

Getting a Chatham pour booked
Tell us the street and whether the standing position is level with the pour, above it or below it. Many of our approved suppliers work on a pay-for-what-you-use basis, which suits the small uncertain volumes a terraced rear garden throws up. 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.
