At Quick Concrete Pumping, we’re your trusted partner for premium ready mix concrete delivery and pumping services. Serving customers throughout London, Kent, Essex, and across the UK, we combine decades of expertise with state-of-the-art equipment to deliver exceptional results on every project.
Ready mix concrete is precisely formulated concrete that’s mixed at our advanced batching facility before being delivered directly to your construction site. Unlike traditional on-site mixing, our expert technicians prepare your concrete to exact specifications—controlling strength, grade, volume, and consistency—so it arrives ready to pump and pour.
Whether you’re working on a residential driveway, commercial foundation, or large-scale infrastructure project, ready mix concrete offers unmatched quality, efficiency, and reliability.
Every batch of our ready mix concrete contains carefully measured proportions of:
Cement – The binding agent that gives concrete its strength and durability
Aggregates – A combination of coarse and fine materials (gravel, crushed stone, and sand) that form the concrete’s structural backbone
Water – Precisely measured to activate the cement and achieve optimal workability
Admixtures – Specialized additives that enhance performance, such as:
We source only premium-grade materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring every cubic meter of concrete meets the highest industry standards. Our batching depot receives regular deliveries of quality aggregates, enabling us to produce up to 400m³ of concrete daily while maintaining exceptional consistency.
Ready mix concrete stands apart from other concrete options for several compelling reasons:
Superior Quality Control – Mixed in our controlled batching environment with computerized precision, eliminating the inconsistencies of on-site mixing
Complete Customization – Every batch is tailored to your project’s specific requirements, from compressive strength to workability
Guaranteed Consistency – Advanced batching technology ensures uniform quality across your entire project
Time and Labor Savings – Arrives ready to use, eliminating the need for on-site mixing equipment and labor
Reduced Waste – Order exactly what you need, minimizing leftover materials and disposal costs
Professional Expertise – Our technicians understand concrete chemistry and can recommend the optimal mix for your application
Our meticulous batching process ensures every delivery meets your exact specifications:
Our computerized batching system calculates the optimal ratio of materials based on your project requirements—considering factors like desired strength grade, environmental conditions, and specific application needs.
We select the appropriate combination of coarse and fine aggregates, then accurately measure them by weight using calibrated scales. This precision ensures consistent performance across every batch.
Cement is carefully weighed according to the predetermined ratio, maintaining the precise cement-to-aggregate balance required for your specified strength grade.
Water content is measured to achieve optimal workability without compromising strength. Any specified admixtures are precisely dosed to enhance performance characteristics.
All materials are combined in our high-capacity mixers, ensuring complete homogenization. Mixing typically takes 1-3 minutes, depending on the batch size and concrete specification.
The freshly mixed concrete is discharged into our modern fleet of transit mixers, which keep the concrete in constant motion to maintain consistency.
Our experienced drivers deliver your concrete to site within optimal time frames. For difficult-to-reach areas or large pours, our concrete pumping specialists use advanced pump equipment to place concrete precisely where you need it—reducing labor costs and ensuring even distribution.
At Quick Concrete Pumping, quality isn’t just a promise—it’s engineered into every batch. Our state-of-the-art batching facility combines computerized precision with rigorous quality control protocols. Regular testing and calibration ensure every delivery meets British Standards and your project specifications.
Our commitment extends beyond the batching plant. With a modern fleet of concrete pumps and experienced operators, we handle everything from small residential projects to complex commercial developments with equal professionalism.
Whether you need ready mix concrete delivery, on-site pumping services, or expert guidance on the right concrete mix for your project, Quick Concrete Pumping is here to help.

We recommend ordering at least 24-48 hours before your pour date to ensure availability and proper scheduling. For large projects or specialized mixes, earlier notice is appreciated. However, we often accommodate same-day or next-day orders depending on capacity.
To prepare the perfect mix, we’ll need: the volume of concrete required (in cubic meters), desired strength grade (e.g., C20, C25, C30), intended use (foundation, slab, driveway, etc.), site access details, and preferred delivery date and time. Our team will guide you through any additional considerations.
Typically, ready mix concrete remains workable for 90-120 minutes after mixing, though this varies based on weather conditions and admixtures used. In hot weather, workability time decreases, while retarders can extend it. We coordinate delivery timing to ensure optimal workability when it arrives at your site.
Our experienced team helps you calculate accurate volumes before ordering. If you order slightly more than needed, the excess can sometimes be used for small additional work. If you need more concrete during the pour, contact us immediately, we’ll do our best to arrange additional delivery, though this may incur rush charges.
Yes! Quick Concrete Pumping offers comprehensive pumping services alongside our ready mix supply. Our modern pump fleet can reach difficult areas, pour upper floors, and handle large volumes efficiently. Pumping significantly reduces labor costs and speeds up your project timeline.
We supply all standard grades from C10 to C40, plus specialized mixes including: fiber-reinforced concrete, self-compacting concrete, rapid-hardening mixes, and waterproof concrete. Tell us about your project requirements, and we’ll recommend the most suitable grade.
Yes, we offer flexible scheduling including weekend and early morning deliveries (subject to availability and potential additional charges). We work around your project timeline to minimize disruption and maximize productivity.
Our minimum order is typically 1 cubic meter, though a small load surcharge may apply. For most projects, the cost-effectiveness of ready mix concrete is maximized with orders of 3m³ or more.
Ensure clear vehicle access (at least 3 meters wide), a level area for the truck to operate, completed formwork and reinforcement, and adequate labor on-site to handle the concrete. For pumping services, we’ll assess access requirements during pre-pour planning.
We accept various payment methods including credit accounts (for registered trade customers), bank transfers, credit/debit cards, and cash on delivery for smaller orders. Trade accounts offer convenient monthly invoicing with agreed terms.
