Ready-mix concrete for footings and foundations in Whitstable
Can a lorry get to a footing trench in Whitstable? Down the alleys between the high street and the beach, no vehicle of any size reaches it, and permit parking limits the alternatives. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for footings and foundations across Whitstable on that understanding.

The foundation work Whitstable generates
Extension footings on tight cottage plots are the common job: short trench runs for a single-storey addition where the excavation takes up most of the remaining ground and there is no room to stand a machine.
Renovation adds a second kind. Pad and support foundations taken inside a weatherboarded cottage where a load path, a floor level or a staircase is changing, and underpinning support work in buildings being brought up to a high specification. On the harbour side, commercial conversions add small structural bases inside existing premises.
Getting a mixer to a trench in Whitstable
Foundation concrete goes in once building control has inspected the open trench, and in Whitstable what happens after that has less to do with the trench than with the street.
The alleys take no vehicle at all, so a trench behind a cottage reached only that way has to be filled from wherever the nearest legal standing position happens to be. Permit parking narrows that further, because the position has to be lawful as well as close, and the shingle frontage removes the beach side as an option entirely.
That matters more on foundations than on most pours. Trench fill is supplied at a higher consistence so that it flows along the excavation and levels itself, and that property is worth paying for only if the concrete arrives continuously. Fed down an alley in barrow loads it stiffens between trips and the trench is worked rather than poured. A line pump run from the standing position keeps the supply continuous and is the normal answer here rather than the exceptional one.
