Why Choose Essex Concrete & Screed For Commercial Ready Mixed Concrete

Pick Your Mix

You can decide on the strength, slump and mixture of your concrete to suit your requirements. Or if you need help and advice in selecting the best concrete strength for your project, give our experts a call.

Mixed To Perfection

We’ll freshly mix your concrete on-site, using tried and tested processes and materials from the same trusted suppliers we’ve used since Essex Concrete & Screed started. Our team of highly trained professionals have all the tools they need to ensure those materials are mixed to your exact specifications.

Only Pay For What You Use

You can order as much or as little concrete or screed as your project demands, and you’ll only pay for whatever you use. So if you order 5m3 of ready mix but only use 4m3, that’s all you’ll pay for. Our vehicles can transport up to 8.6m3 of concrete, so if you need more and we have more on board, it’s all yours. If you need more than we’re carrying, we can arrange another delivery. Please note that our minimum delivery amount is 1m3.

Cost Effective

Ready mixed concrete offers better value for money than mixing by hand on your site, saving your business time and hassle, and negating the need to store the raw materials needed to make concrete.

Fully Trained Operators

Our drivers aren’t just experts behind the wheel of the vehicles that will deliver your concrete. They’re also ready to share their vast experience to help you get the right result from your Essex Concrete & Screed order.

Mobile Batching

Our plants enable us to supply a variety of mixes and slumps per delivery. You can change the water content of our concrete/screed as it’s poured, making laying it easier, saving you time and effort.

The Eco-Friendly Option

Getting your concrete delivered freshly ready mixed direct from our lorries reduces the need for the packaging and associated waste you get from bagged cement used in other concrete-making processes.

Concrete Pumps Available

Lay your concrete quickly and in areas that aren’t easy to reach by hiring one of our concrete pumps.

Concrete Levelling Service

Ask us about our levelling service if you have sunken, uneven or cracked concrete that needs repairing.

We Deliver Ready Mixed Concrete To Your Commercial Premises

We’ll deliver your concrete on-time every time, ensuring your project has the concrete you need when you need it.

As an Essex-based business, our delivery zone covers Basildon, Benfleet, Chelmsford, Grays, Maldon, Rayleigh, Southend, Wickford and the surrounding areas.

Your ready mixed concrete will arrive in a state-of-the-art vehicle that’s regularly calibrated. If you have access restrictions to your site and aren’t sure if we’ll be able to deliver, please send us the dimensions and we’ll let you know. For your information, our delivery vehicles are 4m high x 12m long x 3m wide and weigh approximately 32 tonnes when fully loaded.

You can pick the most convenient day for your concrete to be delivered, and a 2-hour time slot on that day to suit you. Our friendly office team will keep you updated with the arrival of your concrete, so that you can get ready.

Once we arrive, you’ll have 10 minutes per cubic metre to offload your ready mixed concrete or screed. Our delivery driver will wait for this time, but if they are delayed beyond this, additional waiting time will be charged at £1.50+VAT per minute, as we risk missing subsequent deliveries if we’re delayed at your site.

Our driver will be happy to drop your ready mix onto a polythene sheet or into a skip so that you can barrow it in your own time. If you want to load your concrete direct into wheelbarrows, we suggest having a team of people ready to help when our vehicle arrives.
