How does volumetric on-site batching work?
Our truck transports dry cement, sand, stone aggregate, and water in separate onboard bins. On arrival at your Epsom site, our onboard computerized mixer batches your chosen BS 8500 grade in real-time. You only pay for what is poured.
What concrete strength do I need for my extension?
Most single and double-storey extensions in Epsom and Surrey require C25 / FND 2 concrete for trench fill footings. For internal floor slabs, C20 / GEN 3 is standard. Check structural engineer specs prior to ordering.
How long do I have to lay and finish the concrete?
Because our concrete is batched fresh on site in Epsom, you get full working time of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on ambient weather conditions.
What if I order too much or too little?
With volumetric batching, over-ordering penalties don't exist! We stop mixing the moment your slab is full. If your trench is deeper than planned, we simply mix extra m³ on the spot.
