Concrete pumping in Sevenoaks
How does concrete reach a pour at the far end of a Sevenoaks plot without a lorry going down the drive? A boom pump reaches over it, or a line pump runs hose along the edge of it. Kent Readymix arranges concrete pumping across Sevenoaks, which is the county's strongest case for it.

The service the town's access problem is built for
Everywhere else in Sevenoaks the sentence is that the lorry reaches the gate and not the work. This is the page where that stops being a problem and becomes a specification.
The drives are long, private and frequently gravel or unmade, laid to carry cars rather than a fully loaded mixer. Taking one down them risks rutting a surface the owner has paid a great deal for or bogging the vehicle where recovery does more damage than the delivery was worth. A pump removes the question entirely: the vehicle stays at or near the entrance, the concrete travels, and the drive survives the delivery.
That matters commercially as well as practically, because on these properties the condition of the approach is part of the job rather than an afterthought.
Setting a pump up at a Sevenoaks entrance
A boom pump needs firm, level ground that will carry it on its outriggers, room to deploy them fully, which is wider than the vehicle, clear space for a mixer to reverse to the hopper, and overhead clearance.
Two of those are the Sevenoaks constraints in a different guise. Gated entrances limit the width available for the outrigger footprint, so the position is often just outside the gate rather than inside it. And heavy overhanging tree canopy on the approach lanes limits height, with overhead power lines treated as an absolute exclusion rather than something to work around, which on a wooded private lane is a real assessment rather than a formality.
What is underneath the entrance also matters, because outrigger loads are concentrated and a soakaway, drainage run, cellar or culvert beneath a gateway is a serious question.
What settles a Sevenoaks pump job
The volume, the drive length and surface, the gate width, the distance and height from the entrance to the pour, and what is overhead on the lane. 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.
