Concrete driveways in Sheerness

On the chalet and caravan parks the common job is a hardstanding: a pitch base laid to take a touring unit or a parked car, a run of internal road relaid where the surface has failed, or the apron at a park entrance. Depth follows what tows onto it, and the areas are small and repetitive.

On the industrial side the equivalent is a yard apron or a loading area at a unit, specified for the vehicle that will use it rather than for a car, and delivered under the site’s own access rules.

The dockyard-era terraces at Blue Town and Mile Town have very little off-street frontage, so conventional domestic driveway work is the smallest of the three streams here rather than the largest.

Getting the concrete onto the drive in Sheerness

The finished surface is the access route, so the vehicle stays off it and the pour works away from the standing position. That standing position is the whole question and it differs by site type.

Behind a gate, the standing position is agreed as part of the permit and a full mixer is normally right, with a chute covering a useful part of a yard apron.

On a chalet park it is rarely agreed at all until someone looks. Internal roads are narrow and often unmade, pitches sit close together, and the piece of ground being poured is frequently the only route to several others, so what crosses it and when has to be settled before the concrete goes down. A smaller vehicle gets nearer, and a line pump covers the pitches nothing gets near.

Behind all of it sits the single crossing onto the island, which makes the approach one planned route rather than a choice.

Arranging a Sheerness drive or hardstanding

Send the area, the depth, what will stand on or cross it, the site type, and where a vehicle could stand. Your quotation, delivery and payment are agreed directly with the approved supplier appointed to your pour.
