Ready-mix concrete for slabs in Herne Bay

Garden room and studio bases are the standing job, because the interwar and post-war bungalow plots here have the depth to take one without losing the garden. Around that sit patio and terrace slabs, shed and workshop bases, greenhouse bases and hot tub bases.

Towards Greenhill and Hillborough the newer estates add oversite and outbuilding slabs on more modern plots. Almost all of it is domestic, the areas are moderate, and very little of it is within sight of the road.

Access, discharge and how far the chute reaches in Herne Bay

The streets are not the problem here and it is worth saying so plainly. Residential Herne Bay is flat and wide, and a full mixer normally stands outside the property without difficulty.

The problem is what happens after that. A slab is a single continuous pour with a finite working window, and a bungalow on a deep plot puts the far corner of that slab a long way from the kerb, often down a side path barely wider than a barrow. Every trip consumes part of the window, and enough trips means the last of the load goes in noticeably stiffer than the first. On a slab, which is meant to act as one element, that is not a cosmetic problem.

Two answers work. A line pump turns the run into a continuous placement and makes the distance irrelevant. Mini-mix lets the load arrive in stages that the labour on site can actually place. The one exception to the easy-streets rule is the seafront and Central Parade, where restrictions have to be checked before a vehicle is committed.
