What are the benefits of a volumetric concrete lorry?

Volumetric concrete is mixed by the volume of the material. Ready mix concrete is a type of volumetric concrete that is mixed using a volumetric concrete lorry.

These lorries arrive on-site with the essential ingredients and ratios that you need. Our lorries carry cement, stone, sand, water, ballast, lean, and screed.

Contractors all over Luton use volumetric concrete lorries. Our lorries combine raw materials to produce a variety of mix strengths. Our trucks are perfect for contractors who have several different projects to complete.

All the volumetric concrete trucks in our fleet are fully licensed. They contain separate compartments for different materials. They travel to construction sites across North London, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire.

One of the main benefits of volumetric concrete trucks is that they can create lots of different grades and strengths. They come with an in-built mixer. When on-site, trucks can mix 1 to 10 cubic metres of concrete on each site visit.

How do you measure the strength of concrete?

Measuring the strength of concrete requires specialist equipment.

Scientists can conduct ‘compressive strength’ tests to find the strength of concrete. They break large chunks of concrete from different mix strength grades and compress them.

Specialist compressive strength machines measure their findings in kilograms per square centimetre (kg/cm^2) or newtons per square meter (N/m^2).

Conducting a compressive strength test is the most accurate way to measure the strength of concrete.

Using premium quality materials can increase the likelihood of creating strong concrete.

Are there quality standards for concrete?

We are the most trusted volumetric concrete supplier in the Luton area because we are transparent about quality controls.

At HH Muckers, our team never stray away from the best health, safety, and quality practices in the industry.

We are more than happy to advise our customers about any part of the process before, during, or after their ready mix concrete delivery.

How long do I have to place and finish the concrete?

We always recommend booking a ready mix concrete delivery slot at an opportune time.

You should have no problem placing and finishing your concrete if you begin work as soon as our volumetric concrete lorry arrives.

Leaving your batch for long periods of time can make ready mix concrete less pliable. Adverse weather conditions can also hamper your progress.

What is the difference between concrete and cement?

Cement is an essential part of concrete. When in its base form it is a grey power, and when wet it is a thick mortar paste.

Portland and asphalt are the two most popular types of cement. Without cement, it would be impossible for concrete to harden.

When making high-quality ready mix concrete, cement, sand, gravel, and water combine to form an aggregate.

How do you measure concrete?

It is standard to measure volumetric ready mix concrete by cubic metre. Each cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.

Does concrete gain strength by drying out?

Some people think that concrete gains strength by drying out, but this is not the case.

Hydration causes ready mix concrete to dry. It is a chemical reaction whereby water reacts with the other raw materials inside concrete to form strong compounds.

These compounds crystalise and force the materials to aggregate together.

Hydration occurs in the first month after the concrete has set. It forces the chemicals into close proximity, which creates a hardy compound.

After the first month, Hydration still occurs when there is moisture present in the concrete.

How long does it take for concrete to cure?

It is important to give your batch of ready mix concrete enough time to cure. If you work on the surface before the concrete has cured you can cause defects and stop the strengthening process.

The concrete curing process depends on many factors, including the weather. Contractors must protect concrete from harsh winds, frost, and even intense heat.

For more specific advice, give us a call on 01992 635454 and speak to our local Luton volumetric concrete suppliers.

What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?

We work with contractors all over Luton. Every project requires different strength ready mix concrete batches.

Our contractors tend to order C35 and above mixes for residential slabs.

Your engineers are best equipped to tell you about specific strengths.

Why is my concrete cracking already?

Cracks occur in all types of concrete. After Hydration has taken place, ready mix concrete hardens and shrinks. This process of contraction can cause cracks to appear.

Always use expansion joins whilst laying concrete to minimise the impact of contraction. Add expansion joints to your concrete slabs every 3 to 3.5 metres.

Another way to decrease the likelihood of cracks is to only mix the necessary amount of water into your volumetric ready mix concrete. Adding more water makes the mixture easier to work with, but can cause problems in the future.

What is screed?

We combine water, cement, and sand to create screed. This product is an excellent construction material that contractors all over Luton use to create thin floors. 

HH Muckers’ floor screeding is extremely workable. A simple screed float is all you need to spread our screed. 

We customise our batches to suit a range of residential and commercial projects. You can request different sand sizes. We can add pieces that are as small as dust or as big as 10mm. 

What is screed used for?

Most of the time, contractors buy our concrete screed to create smooth surfaces. They need to create smooth, even surfaces for concrete subfloors and flooring. Concrete subfloors have rough exteriors, so it is important to add an even base on top. Flooring options like tiles, carpet, and linoleum also need even bases. 

Believe it or not, screed can also insulate pipes. Lots of our residential customers pour screed over their underfloor heating pipes to better insulate them. 

Differences between concrete and screed floors?

These products are very similar. In fact, there is only one ingredient that is different. Concrete contains 20mm pieces of gravel, which bulks up the finished product. Our screed is much thinner. 

Concrete creates pillars, beams, and subfloors. Screed is only good for floors. 

Concrete floors can handle massive weights, whereas screed floors would crack under the pressure of the same weight.

One thing to remember is that we only sell screed in cubic metres.

Types of floor screed

At HH Muckers, we focus on two main types of floor screed. 

Traditional screed is the most well-known. It is made from three ingredients: water, cement, and sand. We can customise the size of the sand to suit your project. This screed is always pliable, no matter how big the sand is. Contractors use it to create smooth, blemish-free floors. 

Reinforced screed is the next step up. This kind of screed contains all the same ingredients as traditional screed, but we also add metal mesh fibres to the mix. Overall, reinforced screed is less likely to crack and shrink.

How to screed a floor?

Floor screeding is one of the easiest building tasks. 

HH Muckers’ screed is very workable and pliable, you just need a screed float. This is a simple tool that features a flat edge and a rubber handle. Use the handle to guide the flat edge over the surface of your screed. Before you know it, you will have an even layer. 

More often than not, your float will leave marks on your screed. To buff out the marks, just buy a carborundum stone. Most manufacturers sell these stones with handles already attached. Just grab the handle and glide the stone over the float marks.

How do I cure screed?

To cure concrete screed, you need to plan ahead. 

A lot of factors can impact the cure time, which can make the process seem overwhelming. The main things that you need to think about are heat and humidity. The type of screed also plays a big role, and it dictates how hot and humid your screed should be.

How long does screed take to dry?

HH Muckers’ screed floors dry at a rate of 1mm each day. 

Floors that are over 50mm are subject to slightly different guidelines. We add an extra day of dry time for each 1mm over 50mm.
