Ready-mix concrete is batched at a concrete plant to a set mix and delivered in a revolving drum mixer. Waste Cloud arranges ready-mix delivery through suppliers across England, Scotland and Wales, for domestic and commercial projects including foundations, oversites, slabs and driveways.
It is the usual choice for larger, well-measured pours where a consistent batch is important. Call 0333 121 1056 or request a quote with your postcode, mix and volume.
When ready-mix is the right choice
Ready-mix works well when you know the volume, the site is ready and the pour can proceed without delay. Large slabs and commercial pours often use several mixers in sequence. Because the concrete starts to set from batching, the pour needs to be planned so each load can be placed promptly.
Ready-mix or volumetric?
Volumetric concrete is mixed on site and can be adjusted during the pour, which suits uncertain quantities and split pours. Ready-mix is batched in advance and suits measured, continuous pours. The supplier can advise if your project could use either.
Domestic and commercial uses
Ready-mix is used for everything from a single extension’s strip foundations to large commercial ground slabs. Typical pours include trench-fill foundations, oversites beneath new floors, reinforced slabs, driveways and yard hardstandings. On commercial projects, deliveries are often scheduled so mixers arrive at steady intervals to keep a continuous pour going.
When requesting a quote, give the mix designation or strength your engineer has specified, the volume in cubic metres, the type of pour and the delivery window. If you are unsure of the volume, measuring the length, width and depth of the pour area gives a starting figure, and the supplier can advise on a sensible allowance.
Access and placement
Drum mixers discharge via a chute close to the vehicle and need firm standing. Where the pour is out of reach, a line or boom pump can be arranged for the same day. Make sure formwork, reinforcement and labour are ready before the first load arrives.

How long do I have to place ready-mix concrete?
Concrete should be placed within the time stated by the supplier after batching. Plan the pour so the site is ready when each mixer arrives.
