Mini-mix concrete delivery in Sevenoaks

Even on substantial plots a lot of the work is small. Gate and fence post concrete, garden wall and step footings, greenhouse and store bases, path and edging pours, and bases for garden structures that sit well away from the house.

What makes these different from the same jobs elsewhere is where they are. The pour is somewhere in the grounds rather than at the frontage, so a small volume still has a long journey, and the ticket recording a designation matters as much on a post base here as on anything larger.

The one vehicle that sometimes gets past the gate

Everywhere else on this site, the Sevenoaks answer is that the lorry reaches the gate and not the work, and pumping from the entrance is the sensible response. Mini-mix is the genuine exception and it is worth being precise about why.

The drives are gravel or unmade and laid to carry cars, and the risk is rutting a surface the owner has paid a great deal for or bogging a vehicle where recovery does more damage than the delivery was worth. A lighter vehicle carrying a smaller load changes that calculation on some drives, though not on all, and gated entrances and heavy overhanging canopy on the approach lanes still decide width and height before anyone measures the pour.

The honest position is that this is a per-drive judgement rather than a rule. Give the drive length, surface and condition, the gate width and the trees, and an approved supplier confirms whether their vehicle should use it or stop at the entrance and pump.
