About Whitstable
Whitstable is the most access-constrained town we cover. Alleys between the high street and the beach take no vehicle at all, the shingle frontages have no vehicular access, and permit parking runs throughout. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete across Whitstable, where mini-mix and a line pump are frequently the only honest answers.
Cottage renovation, courtyards and the harbour
Whitstable’s weatherboarded cottages are under high-specification renovation and extension, and the concrete work that goes with that is small, precise and awkward to reach: internal floor pours, courtyard slabs, small garden bases, and footings for extensions squeezed into tight plots.
The harbour and beach frontage add commercial work as premises are converted and refitted, on sites with their own frontage restrictions.
Alleys, shingle and permits
Three constraints stack here and they leave very little room.
The alleys running between the high street and the beach are too narrow for any vehicle, so for a number of properties the nearest a lorry gets is the far end of a footway. The shingle frontages offer no vehicular access at all, so nothing approaches from the beach side. And residents’ permit parking across the town limits where a vehicle can legally stand even where the road is wide enough for it.
That combination means the choice of delivery method is usually settled by geography rather than by volume. Mini-mix gets closer than a full mixer can. A line pump covers the distance a barrow cannot cover in the working time available. For a good number of Whitstable addresses, one or both is simply what the job requires.
Broadstairs poses a similar coastal problem, but it is the softer of the two. Whitstable is harder by a distance, and it is worth planning for that from the start.

Before you book a Whitstable pour
Measure the distance from the nearest legal standing position to the pour and tell us the figure. In Whitstable that number decides the job. 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.
