Ready-mix concrete for slabs in Gravesend
Ready-mix is concrete batched at a plant and delivered mixed, which is what makes it the sensible answer for a Gravesend slab where there is nowhere on site to mix anything. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for slabs across Gravesend, from riverside streets with no standing room to the wharf roads a short distance east.

Slabs behind terraces, slabs across wharves
The Victorian terraces produce small slabs on narrow plots: rear garden bases, shed and bin store bases, and internal floor slabs where a ground floor is being taken back to bare ground. The interwar semis produce the larger domestic version, garage bases and garden room slabs on plots with their own frontage.
East of the town the work is industrial. Wharf and riverside premises order yard slabs, hardstandings, machinery bases and unit oversite, poured on ground already laid out for heavy plant, where the only real question is the designation and the rate of supply.
Two standing positions, a few streets apart
Gravesend’s slab problem is the contrast rather than either half of it. The town centre runs on a one-way system, and the streets dropping towards the canal basin and the pier are narrow with limited standing and limited turning. A large vehicle can be committed to a route before anyone has established where it would discharge, and on a slab that matters more than on most pours, because the discharge position cannot be adjusted once the pour has started.
A short distance east the wharf roads are wide, built for articulated traffic, and none of that applies.
So two Gravesend slabs a few streets apart need different vehicles. Near the river it is mini-mix and a standing position agreed in advance, with a barrow run or a line pump covering the last part. On the wharf side a full mixer discharges by chute, and where a slab runs well back from the carriageway a boom pump has room to set up.
Arranging a Gravesend slab
Give the street, the slab dimensions and the depth, and say where a vehicle could legally stand. 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.
