What is ready mix concrete?
Ready mix concrete is a type of volumetric concrete. It is a combination of sand, gravel, cement, and water. Sometimes there are other aggregates in the mixture.

We recommend this type of concrete for contractors who favour convenience. Our customers love the fact that they do not have to source materials.

How do you measure the strength of concrete?
Ready mix concrete suppliers must measure the strength of their materials. Doing so ensures that they can meet project requirements. Suppliers can increase the strength of their concrete by using premium quality materials.
Scientists conduct compression tests to find the strength of concrete. They remove cylindrical samples from existing concrete. They place the sample inside a compression machine, which measures strength in pounds per square inch (psi).
Are there quality standards for concrete?
Concrete is one of the most common construction materials in the world. It is subject to a lot of different quality standards and industry regulations. At HH Muckers, we make sure to exceed quality standards wherever possible.

Contact us on 01992 635454 to chat about our quality standards.
How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?
The amount of time that contractors have to place and finish concrete depends on what project they are working on. Residential slabs, industrial buildings, and bridges all take different amounts of time to place and finish.
It is important to protect ready mix concrete from the elements. If it is exposed to immense heat or rainfall, it will become difficult to work with. Leaving concrete for too long can also have an adverse effect.
That is why we provide our contractors with guaranteed time slots. Time slots make it easy for contractors to arrange labour and reduce wasted hours.
What is the difference between concrete and cement?
Cement and concrete are sometimes mistaken for each other. Concrete is one of the most common construction materials in the world. It could not be able to harden properly without cement.
Cement is an important part of concrete. It combines with sand, stone, and water to create ready mix concrete.
Asphalt and Portland cement are two of the most popular types. They go into construction projects all over Palmers Green.
How do you measure concrete?
In the construction industry, volumetric ready mix concrete is measured by cubic metre. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.
Does concrete gain strength by drying out?
Concrete gets stronger when a chemical process happens.
Hydration occurs when water molecules combine with sand, gravel, and stone molecules. Water is very reactive. When the molecules collide they bond and crystalise.
As the bonds harden, the particles inside ready mix concrete crowd together. There is also less moisture in the mixture.
Hydration happens whenever there are water molecules inside ready mix concrete. It can happen for years and years after labourers lay their concrete.
How long does it take for concrete to cure?
Ready mix concrete goes into all sorts of structures across Palmers Green. Every project is different and there is no definite answer to this question. Most batches of ready made concrete will cure after 28 days.
Whereas concrete can be left alone to dry, curing concrete requires extra care and attention. Site managers need to consider the following facts when curing concrete.
- Concrete can only cure when the relative humidity is above 80%.
- Concrete must be in an environment over 50 degrees for 3 to 14 days.
Curing can take anywhere from 3 to 14 days depending on the scale of the project.
What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?
Residential slabs often need C35 and above mixes of ready mix concrete.
We are a ready mix concrete supplier that caters to contractors all over Palmers Green. Our concrete goes into all sorts of different industrial, residential, and commercial structures.
Each volumetric concrete truck in our fleet has separate compartments. They can carry lots of different grades and strengths at once. We recommend volumetric concrete trucks for site managers who have lots of structures to build.
Why is my concrete cracking already?
All types of concrete are prone to cracks. Concrete tends to crack one 8th of an inch for every 20 feet. This is why cracks are more obvious in large scale projects.
When concrete expands and contracts, cracks form. A chemical reaction called hydration causes concrete to expand and contract for months and years after it is laid. Hydration happens whenever water molecules are present in the mixture.
There are a few ways that labourers can reduce the chance of cracks.
- Never add more water than necessary.
- Add one expansion joint to every three metres of ready mix concrete.
- Do not work on concrete before it cures. Doing so can create structural defects and cause air bubbles.
For more advice on how to avoid cracks, call our Palmers Green team on 01992 635454.

What is screed?
HH Muckers’ floor screeding contains water, sand, and cement. We sell a few different types of screed, including traditional and reinforced screed.
Our batches contain different-sized pieces of sand. Smaller pieces make the batch more workable. They are better suited to residential projects. Bigger pieces make the mixture less workable, and these batches are better suited to commercial projects.
For a screed delivery, call 01992 635454.
What is screed used for?
Concrete screed has lots of uses.
- You can pour a thin layer of screed over a concrete subfloor.
- You can pour a thin layer of screed to create an even base for linoleum, tiles, and carpet.
- You can pour a thin layer of screed to create smooth surfaces.
- You can pour screed over underfloor heating pipes.
What is the difference between screed and concrete?
There are a few differences between screed and concrete.
The main difference is the ingredients. Screed and concrete both contain sand, water, and cement. We also add 20mm pieces of gravel to our concrete.
Concrete creates subfloors, pillars, and other load-bearing structures. Screed floors are a lot thinner, and do not have load-bearing qualities.

Types of floor screed
Contractors contact us for two main types of screed.
- Traditional floor screed – Traditional screed is the most common type. It typically contains small, fine bits of sand that make it very pliable. It is brilliant for contractors who want to create smooth, blemish-free floors.
- Reinforced screed – Reinforced screed is far stronger than traditional screed. We add metal mesh fibres to the mixture, which makes it sturdier. It makes a good base for stronger floors like tiles and marble.
How to screed a floor?
Installing floor screeding is simple.
To make even, clean surfaces, you need a screeding float. This tool is also referred to as a trowel. It is made from a rubber handle and a flat metal surface.
Just pour the screed and use your screeding float to flatten the mixture into place. It will smooth out any imperfections, but the tool itself might create a few marks. To remove the marks, just run a carborundum stone over the surface.
How do I cure screed?
Concrete screed needs at least more than a week to cure. It only reaches 65% of its overall strength in a week, and it needs far longer to reach 100%. The size of the sand in the mixture and the heat in the room can have an impact on the time it takes to cure.
Some of our customers invest in a polythene sheet. If the sheet is airtight, it will help your screed cure.
How long does screed take to dry?
In general, screed dries at a rate of 1mm per day.
Screed floors that are thicker than 50mm will take far longer. You should add an extra day for each 1mm over 50mm. Floors that are 80mm will take anywhere from 80 to 110 days to dry.
Can I cancel my order?
We accept cancellations up to 24 hours before the initial ready mix concrete delivery slot.
