Ready-mix concrete for slabs in Maidstone

Park Wood, Allington and Shepway carry most of the domestic slab work: garden room and studio bases, garage and workshop bases, patio and shed slabs, and the oversite under a rear extension. Plots are a decent size, the roads are wide, and the pours are of a size a single load covers comfortably.

Around that there is business park and retail work, riverside development, and village work in every direction. Maidstone genuinely has the broadest mix in the county, but the suburbs are where the slab orders come from and it would be dishonest to lead on anything else.

A slab delivery is a stationary event

That distinction is what the Maidstone gyratory turns into a practical problem. The roads are perfectly capable of carrying a mixer. What the centre does not reliably offer is somewhere for one to stop, and a slab pour is not a passing visit: the vehicle is stationary for the whole discharge, and a slab of any size means it is stationary for a while.

The saving grace is that Maidstone has several river crossings, so a compromised approach usually has an alternative. That makes a central slab a scheduling conversation rather than a vehicle-selection one, which is not true of Tonbridge a few miles away.

On the suburban estates the question changes again and becomes a simple one. The road carries the vehicle, there is room to stand, and all that is left is the distance from the standing position to the far edge of the slab, which decides whether the concrete goes in by chute, by barrow or through a pump.

Booking a Maidstone slab

Give the slab dimensions, the depth and whether the vehicle can stand off the carriageway. 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.
