About Herne Bay
A Herne Bay pour usually runs in this order: agree the standing position on the road, measure the run from there to the back of the plot, then decide between barrowing, a mini-mix vehicle or a line pump. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete across Herne Bay, and on a bungalow plot that middle step is the one that matters.
What Herne Bay is building
The town’s interwar and post-war bungalows sit on generous plots, and that produces a very consistent stream of work: rear extensions, garden room and studio bases, larger driveways, patios and shed bases. The volumes are moderate and the jobs are almost all domestic.
Towards Greenhill and Hillborough the newer estates add footings and oversite pours on more modern plots, and along the front there is smaller seasonal commercial work.
A long run from the kerb to the back of the plot
The residential streets themselves are easy. They are flat, they are wide, and a full mixer can usually stand outside the property without difficulty. That is not where the Herne Bay problem sits.
The problem is distance. A bungalow on a deep plot puts the rear garden a long way from the road, and often the only route is down a side path barely wider than a barrow. Concrete has a finite working window once it is discharged, and a long barrow run consumes it. Enough trips and the last of the load is going in noticeably stiffer than the first.
That is why mini-mix and a line pump both do real work here despite the easy roads. A line pump turns a long barrow run into a continuous pour. Mini-mix lets you take the load in stages if the labour on site is limited.
The seafront and Central Parade are the exception to the easy-access rule, with restrictions that have to be checked before a vehicle is committed.
