Ready Mix Concrete Supply & Delivery – Nationwide – Rapid Hire
Quality ready-mixed concrete and screed delivered across the UK for foundations, slabs, driveways and floors. Choose standard or designed mixes, with flexible delivery slots and optional on-site batching where it suits your pour.
Concrete and Screed for Domestic and Commercial Projects
Concrete underpins everything from small home renovations to large commercial builds. Rapid Hire supplies ready-mixed concrete and screed with nationwide delivery, helping you get the right mix to site when you need it.
We support homeowners, trades and contractors with practical advice on volumes, access and placing—so you can avoid delays, reduce waste and keep your programme moving.
Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivered to Site
Ready-mixed concrete is produced under controlled conditions and delivered to site ready for placement. In the UK, concrete is commonly specified using BS EN 206 together with BS 8500, which covers UK provisions and approaches to specification.
Tell us your application, site access and placing method, and we’ll help match the mix strength and workability to the job—whether you’re pouring strip foundations, a floor slab or external paving.
On-Site Batching and Volumetric Options
If your quantity is hard to predict or you want extra flexibility, on-site batching (volumetric concrete) can be an efficient option. Materials are carried to site and mixed when needed, helping reduce waste and keep pours efficient.
This approach is also useful when you want to fine-tune volumes during the pour—so you can order confidently without the risk of significant over-ordering.
Screed Supply for Floors and Levelling
We supply screed solutions to support flooring build-ups, levelling and finishes. Options include traditional sand/cement screeds and pumpable self-smoothing screeds, depending on specification and site requirements.
If you’re unsure which screed type fits your project, we’ll guide you based on build-up depth, finish requirements, drying constraints and floor usage.

Ordering, Site Preparation and Safe Working
Good outcomes start with correct specification and practical site planning. Concrete is time-sensitive, so access, placing method and discharge point should be ready before the vehicle arrives.
Construction guidance highlights the importance of controlling concrete washout and wash water to prevent pollution. Teams should also manage exposure to wet cement safely.
What We Need to Quote Accurately
Postcode and site access notes (width, weight limits, obstructions).
Estimated concrete volume (or dimensions so we can help calculate).
Application (foundation, slab, driveway, structural pour, screed).
Any specification requirements (strength class, workability, additives).
Preferred delivery date and time window.
On-Site Responsibilities
Provide a safe approach and turning/unloading area.
Ensure a banksman/traffic management where required for safe vehicle movement.
Have a plan for washout/wash water in line with site environmental controls.
Prepare formwork, reinforcement and placing tools before arrival.
Avoid delays between loads on larger pours to reduce cold joint risk.
All supply is subject to access, scheduling and specification suitability. Concrete and screed should be specified for the intended use and placed/finished using appropriate site practices. Environmental controls for washout/wash water remain the responsibility of the site.
