How our volumetric concrete mixers work
Each volumetric concrete truck in our fleet comes with an in-built mixer. The mixer is on the back of the truck.
We create each order of ready mix concrete at our batching plant. Each material undergoes different density and moisture tests to ensure they meet our high standards.
When the truck arrives on-site the mixer combines the materials. Our customers can oversee the process and customise their batch as necessary. Each mixer can create 1 to 10 cubic metres of ready mix concrete per site visit.
What is ready mix concrete?
Ready mix concrete is a combination of cement, sand, water, and gravel. It also contains other aggregates. Volumetric concrete trucks carry all the essential materials for ready mix concrete and combine them on-site.
This type of concrete is sometimes called ready made concrete. Site managers who have lots of construction projects to fulfil prefer ready made concrete. It can be customised to suit each project.
It is the ultimate hassle-free option for contractors who do not want to spend their time sourcing materials.
How much does ready mix concrete cost?
The cost of ready mix concrete depends on the supplier you use. Whereas some suppliers charge per project, we charge per cubic metre.
Our prices start from £80 per cubic metre. Customers never have to worry about extra costs. At HH Muckers, we are proud to offer customers a transparent pricing structure.
By charging per cubic metre, we ensure that our customers only pay for what they need.

How do you measure the strength of concrete?
Suppliers measure the strength of concrete to make sure it can create strong structures. We send batches of ready mix concrete all over Winchmore Hill. Each batch of concrete needs to be fit for purpose.
We take cylindrical samples from existing batches and place them into compression equipment. The machine compresses the samples and tells us how strong they are in pounds per square inch (psi).
Are there quality standards for concrete?
There are lots of quality standards for concrete.
We keep up with the latest regulations in the industry. Our customers know that they will always receive high-quality materials from us.
Our quality promise starts at the batching plant. Void, density, and moisture tests help us assess the quality of our materials. If the materials do not meet our standards, they do not go out to construction sites across North London.
For more information, contact us on 01992 635454.
How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?
We deliver batches of ready mix concrete to contractors all over Winchmore Hill. Each project is different and requires a different amount of time.
Our guaranteed time slots make placing and finishing concrete easier than ever before. We always recommend working as soon as possible. If concrete is left for too long it will become less pliable.
Contractors should always protect their concrete from intense weather conditions. Heat and heavy rainfalls can negatively impact batches.
For more specific information, always talk to your engineers.
What is the difference between concrete and cement?
Cement and concrete are common construction materials. They go into residential slabs, commercial properties, and industrial buildings all over North London.
Cement is an important part of ready mix concrete. It combines with sand, gravel, and water to create ready made concrete. Without cement, concrete would not be able to harden.
At HH Muckers, we use Asphalt and Portland cement. They are two of the most common types, and they are known for their ability to create strong concrete.
How do you measure concrete?
We measure ready mix concrete in cubic metres. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.
Does concrete gain strength by drying out?
Concrete becomes stronger when the molecules crowd together.
They crowd together when hydration occurs. Hydration is a chemical reaction that begins when water combines with sand, gravel, and cement.
Water is extremely reactive. When water molecules hit sand, gravel, and cement molecules they bond. At this point, there is less water in the mixture and the bonds are closer together.
Hydration can happen at any point. As long as there are water molecules in the mixture, hydration can happen. Water can seep into ready mix concrete for months and years after labourers place it.
How long does it take for concrete to cure?
Different projects cure at different rates. In general terms, most batches of ready mix concrete will cure after 28 days.
Curing is more complicated than drying. Drying relies on a chemical reaction that labourers have little control over. In contrast, curing concrete depends on a number of external factors.
- Labourers must keep their batch of ready mix concrete in an environment where the humidity is above 80% humidity.
- Site managers must make sure that their concrete is over 50 degrees for 3 to 14 days.
We are one of the most trusted ready mix concrete suppliers in Winchmore Hill. Our customers know that they can call us before or after their delivery to discuss any concerns.
If you have more questions about the curing process, give us a call on 01992 635454.
What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?
Winchmore Hill site managers tend to order C35 and above mixes for residential slabs.
Residential slabs need to be strong enough to support large structures. We supply slabs to contractors all over North London.
One of the benefits of ordering concrete from us is that we can deliver lots of grades and strengths. Our volumetric concrete trucks contain separate compartments. This means that site managers can fulfil lots of projects at once.
Our team can only talk about general mixes. We always advise contractors to speak to their engineers for specific information.
Why is my concrete cracking already?
It is normal to see cracks in ready mix concrete.
Concrete shrinks an average of a 1/8th of an inch for every 20 feet. This is why it is normal to see visible cracks in large scale projects.
Concrete shrinks, expands, and contracts when water molecules are present. Water causes a chemical process called hydration to take place. When hydration happens, unbonded molecules bond together and make concrete harden.
Some labourers add excess water to make ready mix concrete easier to work with. Adding more water than necessary can cause excess hydration.
Expansion joints can help to reduce the likelihood of cracks. We recommend adding one joint for every three metres of concrete. Doing so gives the mixture structure which helps when contractions happen.
Can I talk to someone about safety advice before the delivery?
We are proud to be rated 5-stars. Our customers know that they can depend on us in a pinch.
At HH Muckers, advice comes part and parcel of the service we provide. Our team implements safety procedures at every stage of the process. Whether we are in the batching plant or on the way to your construction site, we are thinking about safety standards.

What is screed?
Floor screed is one of the most useful materials that we sell. Despite being so popular, it is very simple. We combine cement, water, and sand to create screed.
We stock two main types of screed and a whole range of batches that contain different-sized sand. The pieces of sand range from small particles to 10mm chunks. The smaller the pieces, the easier the material is to manage.
What is screed used for?
Floor screeding has lots of applications. Above all, screed creates thin, blemish-free surfaces.
Contractors create these surfaces for floors. Tiles, carpets, and linoleum need smooth bases, otherwise the floor is going to be tilted. This is where screed comes in. It is common for contractors to sandwich a layer of screed between subfloors and carpet. Screed acts as an even base. It is even more common for screed to sit on top of concrete subfloors, which are often bumpy and uneven.
Our residential customers have an extra use for screed. They pour screed over their underfloor heating pipes. This insulates the pipes and creates a smooth base for further work.
What is the difference between concrete and screed?
The main difference is that concrete contains 20mm pieces of gravel, but the applications are also different.
Screed floors are different to concrete floors. Screed is a thin, workable material that creates thin floors. Concrete is a thick material that creates sturdy, load-bearing structures.
Order concrete screed in Winchmore Hill
Contractors call us for high-quality concrete screed in Winchmore Hill.
We sell a few types of screed, and we can customise the sand sizes to suit your project. Smaller pieces of sand make the mixture more workable, and they are better for residential projects. Bigger pieces create sturdier mixtures for commercial projects. We stock pieces that range from dust to 10mm.
We sell screed in cubic metres. You only ever have to buy as much screed as you need. When you choose HH Muckers, there is no waste and no unnecessary expenses.
Call 01992 635454 to book your screed delivery.
Types of floor screed
Traditional floor screed is the most popular type. This product contains sand, cement, and water. The individual pieces of sand are very small, meaning the mixture is easy to spread and manipulate. Our customers buy this screed when they need to create thin, level layers.
Reinforced screed is more common on construction sites. As well as sand, cement, and water, it also contains metal mesh fibres. This bulks the product up and creates a sturdier structure. Shrinkage and cracks are far less likely.
How to screed a floor?
Floor screeding is very common. To achieve a smooth finish, you should always use a screed float. Screed floats are also known as trowels. They are comprised of a flat face and a rubber handle. You can buy them from any major tool supply shop.
Use the flat edge to smooth out the surface of your screed. The tool might create marks, in which case you need to buy a carborundum stone. You can use the stone to buff out any imperfections.
How do I cure screed?
Curing is the practice of providing a material with adequate temperature, time, and moisture to achieve its full potential. Screed floors reach their potential when they are as strong as possible.
As a rule, screed reaches 65% of its final strength in a week. You can use a polythene sheet to speed up the rest of the curing, but it needs to be airtight.
Ultimately, lots of factors impact the cure time. Heat, humidity, and even the type of screed impact the cure time.
How long does screed take to dry?
Concrete screed dries at a rate of 1mm a day.
Layers that are over 50mm thick may take longer. You should add an extra day per 1mm for each 1mm over 50mm.
Can I cancel my order?
We accept cancellations up to 24 hours before the initial ready mix concrete delivery slot.
