Ready-mix concrete for floors in Ashford
What kind of floor does an Ashford job usually mean? A large ground-bearing industrial slab in the distribution belt, or a domestic ground floor in a new or extended house. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for floors across Ashford, and the two need different things from the delivery.

The county's largest floor pours are here
The logistics and distribution units around Sevington and Waterbrook are the reason Ashford orders floor concrete at a scale most Kent towns never see. Warehouse and unit floors carrying racking, plant and forklift traffic are designed elements, taken from a specification rather than a convention, and where a flatness classification under Concrete Society Technical Report 34 is attached to the floor it changes the consistence supplied as well as the way it is finished.
The domestic version runs alongside it: ground floors in new houses on the southern and western edges, garage and outbuilding floors, and floors in extensions on estates that are a few years old.
Feeding a large floor from an open plot
A floor is poured into a building that already exists, so the vehicle stands outside the envelope and the concrete travels the last part every time. In Ashford that last part is longer than almost anywhere else on our list, because the buildings are large and the placing face moves steadily away from the opening as the pour proceeds.
That makes reach the governing question rather than access. Getting a lorry to the unit is easy, since estate and service roads are wide and the ring road keeps heavy traffic clear of the centre. Getting concrete from the opening to the far corner of a distribution unit floor is not, and it is a pump question rather than a chute question from the first load onwards.
The second question is what the vehicle stands on. A part-built unit is surrounded by ground a digger crossed without complaint, and a rutted approach at the opening affects every load behind it as well as the one causing it. Both are worth settling before the sub-base is signed off, because they decide the placing method rather than refine it.
Getting an Ashford floor priced
Send the floor area, the slab thickness, whether it is ground-bearing or suspended, what will run across it, and any TR34 classification. 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.
