The Concrete Firm That Shows Its Prices
We deliver volumetric ready mix concrete across Birmingham — from half a cubic metre for a shed base in Kings Heath to scheduled commercial pours for groundworkers, with pump hire and floor screed from the same phone number. Every truck is a mobile batching plant: your mix is made fresh at your kerb, metered as it pours, and recorded on a batch ticket.
Birmingham has no shortage of concrete — all five national producers batch inside the city. What it lacks is a supplier who publishes prices, explains which grade the job actually needs, tells you honestly when the truck won't fit, and takes the washout away instead of leaving it. That's the firm we've built. Start with the calculator, check our rates below, and call for a price you can hold us to.

How Much Concrete Do You Need?
Length × width × depth, plus a sensible margin — or skip the maths entirely. Our concrete calculator handles slabs, trenches and circular pads, converts your measurements to cubic metres, and suggests the right mix for the job.
And here's the volumetric advantage: over-estimating costs you nothing, because the truck batches on site and you only pay for what actually goes in the ground.
- 6m × 3m slab at 150mm ≈ 2.7m³
- Shed base 2.4m × 1.8m at 100mm ≈ 0.45m³ — under our minimum, still no penalty
- 1m³ of concrete weighs about 2.4 tonnes

Concrete grades, translated. If a cheaper grade does the job, we'll say so.
Foundations & Footings
Strip and trench-fill foundations in normal ground want a C8/10 mix in a high-slump trench-fill consistence — not an expensive structural grade.
Foundation concrete →Driveways
The one everyone gets wrong: driveways need an air-entrained paving mix, or frost will scale the surface off a plain C20 in a few winters.
Driveway concrete →Shed & Garage Bases
C16/20 does an unreinforced base perfectly; reinforced garage floors step up. A typical shed base is under 1m³ — our favourite kind of small load.
Base concrete →Reinforced & Structural
Anything with steel in it counts as reinforced — C25/30 upwards, to your engineer's spec where one exists, with the batch ticket to prove what went in.
C25 concrete →Heavy-Duty & Industrial
Yards, wearing surfaces and industrial floors run C35–C40. Most domestic jobs don't need this — don't pay for strength you won't use.
C40 concrete →Not Sure?
Our grades guide decodes GEN, RC, PAV and FND names, the newton numbers, and which one your job actually needs.

Tell us the job
Postcode, what you're pouring, rough size — dimensions are fine, we'll do the maths. A photo of your access means the plan survives delivery day.
Clear price, right mix
Per-m³ rate, delivery and any pump itemised, +VAT — with the grade sense-checked against the job, not upsold past it.
Batched at your kerb
The truck mixes your exact spec on site and meters the pour — batch ticket handed over, washout contained and taken away, site left clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ready mix concrete cost in Birmingham?
Our guide prices per m³, +VAT: C8/10 from £99, C20 from £105, C25 from £110, C30 from £115, C35 from £120, C40 from £128 — confirmed when you book. UK market rates typically run £100–£160/m³, so check us against anyone. Full breakdown in the prices guide.
What's your minimum order?
Half a cubic metre — and because we batch on site and meter the pour, there's no part-load penalty. Drum suppliers typically impose 2–6m³ minimums or £50–£200 short-load fees; a 0.7m³ job with us is billed as 0.7m³. See mini mix & small loads.
How much concrete do I need?
Length × width × depth in metres (150mm = 0.15m), plus 5–10% contingency. A 6m × 3m slab at 150mm is 2.7m³. The calculator does it for you — and over-estimating costs nothing with metered delivery.
Which concrete grade do I need?
Rule of thumb: C8/10 for strip and trench-fill foundations, C16/20 for shed and garage bases, C25/30 for reinforced work, an air-entrained paving mix for driveways, C35–C40 only where an engineer or heavy use demands it. The grades guide decodes the lot — and we'll tell you when the cheaper grade does the job.
Will the truck fit down my road?
It needs roughly 3m of clear width, 4–4.5m overhead and ground that takes a heavy lorry. Our chutes extend to around 5m, and where the truck can't get close we barrow (~20 loads per m³) or bring a pump. Send an access photo with your enquiry and we'll plan it before the day.
Can you deliver same-day?
Often, yes — volumetric trucks carry raw materials rather than a pre-batched load, so short-notice slots are realistic, subject to availability. Out-of-hours pours are often possible too; any surcharge is confirmed when you book.
Do you supply GEN1, PAV1 and the other designated mixes?
Those names legally belong to producers holding third-party certification, so we don't badge our concrete with them — we batch designed mixes to the same strength and durability requirements of BS 8500, metered and recorded on your batch ticket. If your spec strictly requires certified designated concrete (some NHBC and highways work does), tell us and we'll advise honestly. Full explanation on the grades page.
What happens to the washout?
We contain it and take it away — nothing goes down your drain or anywhere near a watercourse. Washwater is pH 11–13 and polluting a drain is a criminal offence; some suppliers ask you to build a lined washout box, but we handle ours ourselves.
