If you need ready-mix concrete delivered in Alton, you can use our easy, three-step process.
Step 1 - Decide On The Concrete You Need
First, you need to make sure that you are choosing the right concrete for your requirements. We have commercial concrete Alton business owners need for large construction projects and domestic concrete Alton homeowners require for the foundations of a shed or patio.
Each type of concrete is suited to different requirements so it’s vital you select the right option. If you’re not sure, then our experts are always on hand to help. Give them a call and they’ll find the answer you need.
Step 2 - Decide How Much Concrete You Need
Next, you need to think about how much concrete you require for your particular project or construction job. This can be tricky and that’s why we provide a simple concrete calculator. This will tell you exactly how much concrete you need.
Step 3 - Complete Your Order
When you know the type and amount of concrete you need, you can complete your order. Arrange a time and a day - we’ll ensure that your concrete supplies are delivered on your schedule. Ready-mix concrete delivered in Alton can be prepared on the spot.
You’ll only pay for the amount that is poured from our volumetric concrete mixers and if you need a little extra due to a miscalculation that’s always an option too.
With our domestic concrete Alton residents can access the materials they need for a wide range of small DIY projects and construction jobs. This could include creating a brand-new patio or perhaps laying down the foundations for a shed. Again, we can supply the right type of concrete mix required here and you can easily choose the right amount.
Some of these jobs may sound tricky. However, we have some handy ‘how-to guides’ that are sure to help you get the right results.
For instance, if you’re creating the foundation for a shed, then you’ll need to:
You can use paving slabs but using concrete for a project like this makes things far easier and faster. It can also guarantee that you have a base that is more durable and delivers the stability you require. Again, if you need any advice on a project like this, we’re always available to answer a call and ensure that you stay on the right track.

Costs are always going to be an important concern when completing work on any construction project, large or small. With our solution, you’ll never need to worry about paying for more concrete than you require. This keeps your costs under the right level of control and we do strive to offer the best rates possible for our clients.
This also means that you are limiting the level of waste for your construction project. It ensures that you are maximising efficiency standards and keeping your project eco-friendly at the same time.
Your concrete is also mixed on-site ensuring that it is fresh and ready to be used. It guarantees that, if required, you can complete your own quality checks to ensure that you are 100% satisfied with the materials provided.
Since you are getting the precise amount of concrete you need for any project, you also avoid the issue of delays. This is another reason the costs can mount up on a construction project. With our volumetric concrete solution, this is an issue that is buried in the past.
Aside from providing concrete delivery in Alton, we also offer a wide range of other services that could be useful when completing a domestic or commercial construction project.
Aggregates will always be required on construction projects. These are used to produce concrete. There are lots of different types of aggregates to choose from including sand and gravel. It’s important to select the right option for the type of concrete you need. We can provide the right aggregates you require and - if needs be - offer advice based on the project that you are working on.
You’re never going to finish a construction project without a little mess and waste. That’s true whether you are adding a new shed to your garden or building a brand-new home. It can be tough to ensure that your waste is removed the right way but we’re here to help. We’re fully licensed to remove all types of waste including soil and even hazardous materials. We can ensure that this part of the construction project is taken off your hands and left with our expert team members. They will work around your schedule and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the results of their work.
There can be complications when you are working to get concrete where you need it during a building project. You could need the concrete in an area that is tough to reach or where there are obstacles blocking your path. For an additional cost, we do provide a concrete pumping solution. Using this service, you can get concrete pumped into areas where you wouldn’t be able to pour it in by hand. You can also pump concrete up slopes and over obstacles such as fences. On some construction projects, this is a fantastic way to eliminate delays during your project and keep things firing on all cylinders.

Typically for lightweight foundations such as workshops and sheds a C20 mix would be used or C25 mix for more substantial buildings –if you would like to read more about concrete mixes please see our Concrete FAQ.
