What are the benefits of a volumetric concrete truck?

Contracts all over Tottenham depend on our volumetric concrete trucks. 

Here are some of the reasons why contractors choose volumetric concrete trucks. 

  • Trucks have separate compartments
  • They can deliver lots of concrete grades and strengths in the same slot
  • Volumetric lorries are built for rough terrain

Site managers who have lots of projects to fulfil love volumetric lorries. They can order all the materials they need for the same delivery slot. Our ready mix concrete delivery service is designed to save contractors time.

We customise each batch of ready mix concrete that we send out. Lorries can carry lots of concrete strengths and grades. When one of our lorries arrives on-site the operator mixes all the materials together. 

How our volumetric concrete mixers work

Our volumetric concrete mixers combine materials on-site. They arrive at construction sites on the back of our volumetric concrete trucks. 

Our customers love the fact that they can oversee the mixing process. Our batches of ready mix concrete are made during your delivery time slot. Site managers do not have to worry about their concrete sitting in the sun or becoming less pliable.

Mixers can combine 1 to 10 cubic metres of ready mix concrete per site visit. We recommend mixers for site managers who have lots of structures to make on the same day.

What is ready mix concrete?

Volumetric concrete trucks create ready mix concrete. It is a combination of cement, sand, gravel, and water. It sometimes contains other aggregates. 

Concrete is one of the strongest construction materials. Contractors sometimes call it ready made concrete. Ready made concrete suppliers source and deliver all the necessary materials. 

Our volumetric concrete trucks combine the materials together on-site.

How much does ready mix concrete cost?

The cost of ready mix concrete varies based on the supplier. 

At HH Muckers, we will always charge per cubic metre. Our prices start from £80 per cubic metre. This number includes premium quality materials like lean, screed, cement, sand, and stone. 

By charging per cubic metre we ensure that our customers get a fair deal. We also make sure that we reduce waste and keep our environmental impact to a minimum. 

Site managers love the fact that our pricing structures are transparent.

How do you measure the strength of concrete?

Ready mix concrete suppliers must make sure their product is fit for purpose. 

Our concrete goes into construction sites all over Tottenham. We ensure that our concrete is strong by using premium quality materials. 

Measuring the strength of concrete is one of the ways that we fulfil our quality promise. We take samples of existing batches and place them in a compression machine. Specialist compression machines measure strength in pounds per square inch (psi).

Are there quality standards for concrete?

We are committed to providing contractors in Tottenham with premium quality materials. With our ready mix concrete delivery service, it has never been easier to source materials that get the job done. 

We enforce a lot of quality standards on our concrete. Our team of professionals conduct void, density, and moisture tests on each material. This ensures that they meet our high standards. 

For more information about our quality standards, call 01992 635454.

How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?

The amount of time you have to place and lay concrete depends on the project. 

We recommend working with your batch of ready mix concrete as soon as it arrives. Our guaranteed time slots make it easier than ever to meet deadlines. Contractors do not have to worry about wasting batches with our service. 

There are a few things to remember when placing and laying concrete. 

  • The longer concrete is left alone, the harder it is to work with.
  • Harsh weather conditions like heat and rain can impact the pliability of concrete. 

Every project is different. For specific information, consult with our engineers. 

What is the difference between concrete and cement?

There are lots of differences between concrete and cement. One of the biggest similarities is that they are both common construction materials. 

Cement goes into concrete. It combines with gravel, sand, and water to create premium quality ready mix concrete. It is the hardening element that allows concrete to set. 

Asphalt and Portland are two of the most popular types of cement. They are known for their hardy and durable nature. This makes them perfect for large scale industrial and commercial projects. 

How do you measure concrete?

In the construction industry, volumetric ready mix concrete is measured in cubic metres. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.

Does concrete gain strength by drying out?

Concrete gains strength when molecules bond together. 

Water is reactive. When water combines with sand, stone, and cement, strong bonds form. They crystalise and force the particles in the mixture close together. This chemical process is called hydration. 

At this point, ready mix concrete begins to dry and harden.

Hydration happens whenever water molecules combine with the other materials in the mixture. Concrete dries in the first month or so after labourers lay it.

Water can seep into the mixture for months and years afterwards. If this happens, the hydration process will resume on a smaller scale.

How long does it take for concrete to cure?

Most batches of ready mix concrete will cure in 28 days. 

Drying concrete is relatively simple. In contrast, curing concrete needs a set of external controls. Site managers need to consider a few things when they are trying to cure concrete.

  • Concrete needs to be in an environment above 80%. 
  • Concrete must be kept in a space that is over 50 degrees for 3 to 14 days.

The number of days depends on the project. Contractors all over Tottenham choose us as their ready mix concrete supplier. Our materials go out to construction sites of all sizes, which means that we can only talk about general situations.

For more specific information, always consult with your engineers.

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

Tottenham contractors tend to use C35 and above mixes for residential slabs. 

Site managers all over Tottenham use our ready mix concrete services. We customise each batch to our customers’ specifications. This means that they can order lots of concrete grades and strengths at once.

We can only talk about general situations. For more specific ready mix concrete information, speak to your engineers.

Why is my concrete cracking already?

Ready mix concrete cracks for a number of reasons. 

Cracks occur naturally. Concrete shrinks an average of a 1/8th of an inch for every 20 feet. It shrinks and contracts because of a process called hydration. 

When water reacts with sand, gravel, and cement molecules, bonds form. They harden and crystalise. The particles crowd together and concrete begins to dry. 

Cracks can form after the concrete has been laid. Whenever there are free water molecules in the mixture hydration happens. This causes concrete to shrink, contract, and expand.

Here are a few ways that contractors can reduce the chance of cracks. 

  • Never start working on the surface of concrete before it cures. 
  • Only ever add as much water as the mixture needs to bond. 
  • Add an expansion joint for every three metres of concrete.

What is screed?

It is a thin, workable material that contains cement, sand, and water. 

HH Muckers’ concrete screed contains different-sized pieces of sand. The smaller pieces are as minute as sand, and the bigger pieces are as large as 10mm. If you need a workable material, we recommend the smallest pieces possible. 

What is screed used for?

Screed floors are common structures on construction sites all over Tottenham. 

Contractors use screed to create thin layers. The layers go underneath floors like tiles, carpet, and linoleum. A lot of our customers pour a layer of screed on the top of concrete subfloors. The main purpose of screed is to create a smooth, even surface. 

Our customers also use screed to improve their underfloor heating systems. They pour screed over the pipes to insulate them and create smooth bases. 

Contact us on 01992 635454 to book your screed delivery. 

Differences between concrete and screed

Both products contain cement, water, and sand. We add 20mm pieces of gravel to our batches of concrete. 

Floor screeding has different applications than concrete. We recommend screed for people who need to create blemish-free layers. Concrete cannot create thin layers. It is a thick material that has brilliant load-bearing qualities. Contractors buy our concrete to create thick subfloors and pillars.

Types of floor screed

We sell two main types of floor screed.

Traditional floor screed is the simplest type of screed. It contains cement, water, and the smallest pieces of sand possible. This product is very workable, meaning you can spread it with ease. Our customers use this kind of screed to create thin layers for sub bases and floors. 

Reinforced screed is more complicated. We add metal mesh fibres to traditional screed to create this product. The result is a sturdier material that is far less likely to crack and shrink.

How to screed a floor?

If you want to screed floors, you need a trowel. Trowels are also called screed floats. They are tools that feature a handle and a flat metal surface. 

Here is how to use a trowel.

  1. Lay your screed.
  2. Press the flat edge of your trowel against the screed. Smooth it over the surface to create a blemish-free exterior. 
  3. Use a carborundum stone to remove any trowel marks. 

How do I cure screed?

Floor screeding takes a while to cure. 

After a week, screed reaches 65% of its strength. It is difficult to predict how much longer you will need to wait for your screed to reach 100%. Heat and humidity can have a big impact. 

Some people put an airtight polythene sheet over their screed. This speeds up the process. 

How long does screed take to dry?

Concrete screed dries 1mm per day. This only applies to layers of screed that are between 1mm and 50mm thick. If your layer is any thicker, you will have to wait longer. For example, screed floors that are 80mm will take anywhere from 80 to 110 days to dry completely. 

Can I cancel my order?

We accept cancellations up to 24 hours before the initial ready mix concrete delivery slot.
