FAQs about concrete services

What is a concrete contractor?

A concreter plans, installs, and maintains concrete structures for residential or commercial projects. They handle everything from driveways and patios to structural foundations.

Is it cheaper to mix your own concrete or have it delivered?

Mixing your own concrete can be cheaper for very small projects, but delivery is often more cost-effective and less labour-intensive for larger pours.

Ready mix concrete delivery costs on average £150, depending on how much you need. You may also be charged a partial load fee if you order less than the set amount.

Do concrete patios and driveways add value?

Yes. Well-installed concrete surfaces can improve your property’s kerb appeal and functionality, making it more attractive to buyers.

How do I choose between ready-mix concrete and on-site mixing?

Ready-mix concrete is convenient for larger projects and saves time. On-site mixing allows for flexibility in smaller or more complex pours.

Can you buy ready-made concrete?

Yes, you can buy ready-made concrete from most DIY stores and trade suppliers. Without the need for on-site mixing, ready-made concrete can be more convenient.

However, hiring a concrete contractor to mix and pour the concrete on-site might be cheaper. It might also get you a better result, especially for large quantities of concrete.
