Pump concrete to speed up the job. Less waste, less fuss.
Very often Concrete247 can get our volumetric mixer trucks to pour where you need the concrete or screed no additional effort is required other than the levelling of the wet concrete or screed. If, however, the concrete or screed is needed some distance from Concrete247’s volumetric mixing truck then it needs to be transported in some way. If enough hands are available, the volume isn’t large and the distance not too great, then wheelbarrows may be sufficient. For large volumes, greater distances and awkward locations a concrete pump will help to easily complete the job. And can be the easiest way to get the concrete or screed laid.
Concrete247 works alongside many specialist pump providers to provide a complete service to get your concrete or screed requirement right to where it is needed. With us coordinating the operation to ensure the pump truck arrives before the volumetric mixer truck gives time to set up the pump and pipes to ensure no waiting time is incurred for the volumetric mixer. Care will be taken to minimise any spillage and that the site is left clean when both trucks leave.

Footings are there to support the foundations of a building, domestic or commercial, and ensure the construction doesn’t sink into the ground it is built on.
Foundations are probably the most important part of any build and once laid blockwork and brickwork can often start 24 hours later.
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.
