What actually determines your concrete price
Anyone quoting a single "price per m³" without asking questions is guessing. These six factors set your real cost — and knowing them is how you keep it down.
Concrete grade
From C8 blinding to C50 structural — stronger mixes use more cement, which is the main cost driver per cubic metre.
Volume you need
Price per m³ drops as volume rises. Use our calculator to measure it exactly — most people over-order by 10–20%.
Part-load fees
Traditional drum suppliers charge for the full load even if you use half. Our volumetric trucks batch on site, so this fee simply doesn't exist.
Pumping
Restricted access or upper floors may need a line pump. We supply pump and concrete as one crew with one clear price — usually cheaper than hiring separately.
Location & access
Distance from our plants and how close the truck can park affect time on site. We cover all of London and a 50-mile radius from four plants.
Timing
Weekday daytime pours are the most economical. Same-day, weekend and out-of-hours slots are available — tell us and we'll price it upfront.
Why volumetric batching costs you less
A drum truck arrives with a fixed load, mixed hours ago. Our trucks arrive with raw materials and batch fresh concrete on your site — that difference is where the savings live.
Pay only for what you pour
The truck batches fresh concrete on site, metre by metre. Need 4.3m³? You pay for 4.3m³ — not a rounded-up 5 or 6.
No waste disposal costs
Nothing left over means nothing to cart away or pay to dump — and no half-set concrete sitting in your skip.
No second-delivery risk
Under-ordered with a drum supplier and the pour stops. Volumetric trucks carry materials for more than you booked — we just keep mixing.

Ask us on WhatsAppHow much does ready mix concrete cost in London?
It depends on three things: the grade (C8–C50), the volume, and access to your site. Because our volumetric trucks batch on site, you pay only for the exact amount poured — no part-load charges. WhatsApp us your postcode and volume and you'll have an exact price in minutes.
Do I have to pay for a full load?
No — this is the biggest saving versus traditional drum mixers. We mix on site, so a 3.5m³ pour costs you 3.5m³, never a rounded-up full load.
Is there a minimum order?
We take on small domestic pours and large commercial contracts alike. Tell us your volume — even for small jobs we'll give you an honest, clear price.
What's included in the price?
The concrete to your specified grade, delivery, and on-site batching. If you need pumping, we quote supply and pump together as one price — one crew, one visit, no hidden extras.
Does concrete pumping cost extra?
Line pumping is priced into your quote when access requires it — and because we run our own pumps, it's usually cheaper than hiring a pump separately. Pumped pours also finish faster with less labour, which often saves money overall.
How do I get the cheapest price?
Measure accurately (use our calculator), book a weekday slot if you can, and send clear access photos so we can plan the visit right first time. Accurate information is what keeps your price down.
