What Affects the Price of Concrete?
Grade / Strength
Higher-strength mixes (more cement) cost more per cubic metre than general-purpose grades.
Quantity
Larger pours often work out cheaper per m³. With volumetric mixing you only pay for what you actually use.
Delivery & Access
Distance and how easily our wagon can reach the pour point can affect the price. Our local delivery is free across Manchester.
Additives
Fibres, waterproofing, retarders or rapid-set additives add to the base cost where required.
How Much Concrete Do I Need?
To estimate volume, multiply the length × width × depth of your pour in metres. For example, a slab 5m × 4m × 0.1m deep = 2 cubic metres of concrete.
It’s wise to allow a small margin for uneven ground. Because our volumetric wagons mix on site, you don’t need to over-order “just in case” – you only pay for what you use, with no part-load charges.
