Volumetric concrete mixed on site in Margate

Margate’s conversion and renovation economy generates unknown quantities constantly. Cellar and lower ground make-up, voids under floors nobody has lifted in decades, levelling across a floor that was never flat, and infill where a Victorian terrace has been altered repeatedly. The figure is never knowable from above.

Where the vehicle can reach, most of our approved suppliers work on a pay-for-what-you-use basis, so the quantity is settled at the end of the pour rather than guessed at the start of it.

A large vehicle on a street that has no room for one

This is the town where the honest answer is most often no, and saying so is more use than implying otherwise.

A volumetric mixer carries its materials as well as its plant, so it needs firm standing, room to position and clearance to work the discharge auger. Margate’s terraced streets are tightly packed and parked on both sides, the Old Town is narrower again, and the seafront carries its own restrictions on where and when a vehicle can be. Density, rather than gradient, is what rules this vehicle out, and it rules it out on more addresses here than anywhere else on the coast.

Where the pour is on a newer edge, or on commercial ground with space, it works properly. Where it is not, the alternatives are mini-mix, which manages a small uncertain quantity load by load, or a line pump fed from wherever a vehicle can legally sit. Tell us the street early and we will say which of the three applies.
