Mini-mix concrete delivery in Ramsgate

The Regency and early Victorian stock produces a steady flow of small work. Rear yard bases, threshold and step pours, small structural bases in buildings under conversion, light-well and area repairs, and patches to lower ground floors being brought into use.

On the Manston side and around the harbour the same service covers minor commercial pours, plinths, bollard and barrier bases and thresholds, where a full load would be mostly wasted.

A smaller vehicle, and a gap it still cannot cross

Ramsgate gives a shorter vehicle two genuine advantages. It needs less standing length on a narrow crescent, and it manoeuvres out of a steep harbour ramp more easily than a full-size lorry that has committed to one.

What it does not do is cross the void. Where a terrace has a basement area at the front there is an open, usually railed gap between the kerb and the building, and a chute runs concrete in a straight line under gravity whatever the vehicle size. A barrow route has to go round it or through the property, and on a crescent that can be a long way.

So the honest reading is that mini-mix solves the street and a line pump solves the frontage, and on many Ramsgate addresses the right answer uses both: the smaller vehicle to reach a legal standing position and the pump to get across the last few metres. Say whether there is an area, a light well or railings at the front when you enquire, because it decides which.
