Ready-mix concrete for floors in Gillingham
A Gillingham floor is arranged in this order: measure from the kerb to the room through the house, decide whether that distance can be barrowed continuously, then choose between mini-mix and a line pump. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for floors across Gillingham on that sequence.

Ground floors on the grid, unit floors on the parks
The Edwardian terraced grid produces most of the floor work. Suspended timber floors replaced with a ground-bearing slab, rear addition and kitchen floors re-laid, and floors formed in a small extension at the back of a long narrow plot. The rooms are modest and the build-up is standard.
At Rainham the 1930s semis add garage and outbuilding floors with side access. The business parks add the commercial version, unit and warehouse floors on sites with proper access, sometimes power floated and sometimes carrying a flatness requirement.
A floor is inside the walls, and that changes the route
Gillingham’s rear garden pours at least finish in the open air. A floor does not, and that is what separates this job from every other pour on the grid.
The concrete comes through the front door, along a hallway, through a door opening and into a room bounded on four sides. A barrow has nowhere to turn once it is in there, the finished level is set against a threshold and a damp-proof course rather than against open ground, and the membrane has to be lapped, taped and carried up to meet that damp-proof course before anything arrives. Damage on the way in is damage to the house rather than to a lawn.
That is why a line pump is the usual answer on a Gillingham floor even over a distance that would be barrowed to a garden. Hose is laid once, run through the hallway or in through a window, and the placement stays continuous, so the floor goes in as one element and nothing is wheeled repeatedly past a staircase. Mini-mix suits a small front room with a short route, and permit parking decides where either vehicle sits.
