Ready-mix concrete for floors in Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks floor work is almost all in secondary buildings on a large plot. Garage and workshop floors, pool house and plant room floors, garden room and studio slabs used as the finished floor, stable and store floors, and floors in outbuildings being converted to habitable use.

The volumes are moderate but the standards are not. These floors are usually going to take a finish or a covering that shows every defect, which makes a continuous placement and a properly detailed membrane worth more here than the size of the pour suggests.

A floor at the far end of a drive that cannot be driven

The defining Sevenoaks constraint bites on a floor in a specific way. The building is somewhere in the grounds, the drive to it is gravel or unmade and laid to carry cars, and a floor needs not one vehicle down that drive but a succession of them if it is bigger than a single load.

Gated entrances limit width and turning circle, and heavy overhanging canopy on the approach lanes limits height before anyone has measured the room. Even where a lorry could get down, the damage to the drive is a cost the delivery was not supposed to carry.

So the vehicle stays at or near the entrance and the concrete travels. A boom pump reaches over the drive and through an opening without touching the surface. A line pump runs hose along the edge and into the building, which is usually the answer where the floor is inside rather than at the front of a structure. Either way the placement stays continuous, which is the point.

What settles a Sevenoaks floor

The floor area and thickness, the building’s position on the plot, the drive length and surface, and the gate width. Your quotation, delivery and payment are agreed directly with the approved supplier appointed to your pour.
