What is ready mix concrete?
Ready mix concrete is a combination of gravel, water, and cement.
Ready mix concrete is sometimes referred to as ready made concrete because of its hassle-free nature. We deliver this type of concrete to contractors all over Enfield in volumetric concrete trucks.
It is perfect for contractors who want a hassle-free way of sourcing materials. We deliver everything in one go. Waiting on several different suppliers is a thing of the past with our delivery service.

How much does ready mix concrete cost?
If you search for the cost of ready mix concrete in Enfield, lots of suppliers will pop up. Ready mix concrete is often sold per delivery or per cubic metre.
We sell ready mix concrete in cubic metres. By buying concrete in cubic metres, contractors can meet their exact specifications. Our customers never pay above the odds.
How do you measure the strength of concrete?
Scientists measure the strength of concrete by placing samples in compression equipment which measures strength in pounds per square inch (psi). This information allows suppliers to give their customers safe batches.
Contractors must make sure they use the correct strength concrete. Using the wrong strength concrete can make construction sites dangerous.
Measuring concrete is one of the best ways of ensuring it is safe for use. For strong concrete, always order premium quality materials.
Are there quality standards for concrete?
The construction industry is highly regulated. With rules and regulations always changing, it is important to use a supplier that stays ahead of the game.
We deliver screed, lean, concrete, sand, stone, cement, gravel, and other aggregates to contractors all over Enfield. Our team conducts density, void, and moisture tests on all materials. This helps us maintain high standards across the board.

How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?
Concrete is one of the most common construction materials in the world. It goes into lots of different projects. There is no definite time frame to work within.
There are two important facts to remember.
- Ready mix concrete becomes less pliable when it is subject to extreme weather conditions
- Working on the surface of concrete before it is dry will cause structural defects
We always recommend beginning work as soon as possible. Our guaranteed time slots help construction site managers organise their time. They can also streamline their labour costs.
What is the difference between concrete and cement?
Both cement and concrete are popular construction site materials. They go into a lot of structures that we use in our day-to-day lives. Residential slabs, bridges, and industrial buildings all contain cement and concrete.
Cement is one of the most important materials that goes into concrete. It combines with sand, stone, and water. Without cement, concrete would not be able to harden.
Asphalt and Portland cement are two of the most popular types.
How do you measure concrete?
In the construction industry, volumetric ready mix concrete is measured by cubic metre. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.
Does concrete gain strength by drying out?
Concrete becomes stronger when the molecules crowd closer together. This happens when bonds form.
Hydration is a chemical process that occurs when water molecules hit sand, gravel, and cement molecules. The molecules bond together, which leaves less moisture in the mixture.
This chemical reaction happens whenever there are water molecules in ready mix concrete. Most of the water bonds within the first month after labourers lay their concrete.
The more bonds that form, the less moisture there is in ready mix concrete. This causes it to dry and harden.
How long does it take for concrete to cure?
Ready mix concrete cures at different rates depending on the project.
Concrete goes into residential slabs, bridges, industrial buildings, and many other projects. Contractors have to give their batch enough time to cure. If they work on concrete before it cures, they will create defects.
Most batches of concrete will cure after 28 days.
Curing is a delicate process. Unlike the drying process which only depends on hydration, curing concrete requires heat, time, and humidity controls. Here are some of the most important factors.
- Relative humidity must be above 80%
- The environment must be over 50 degrees
- The heat must be maintained for 3 to 14 days
We always recommend that contractors speak to their engineers for specific advice.
What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?
Our Enfield based contractors order C35 mixes.
It is important to note that every project is different. Contractors from all over Enfield contact us for ready mix concrete. We cannot talk about specific construction sites.
Why is my concrete cracking already?
Ready mix concrete shrinks on average an ⅛ of an inch for every 20 feet. When concrete shrinks and contracts, cracks form.
A chemical reaction called hydration causes concrete to crack. Hydration begins when water molecules are present in concrete. They mix with sand, gravel, and cement molecules and form strong bonds.
When water is locked in bonds, there is less moisture in the mixture and concrete shrinks. Water seeps into concrete over time and it contracts.
There are a few ways that contractors can prevent excessive cracks.
- Only add the amount of water necessary. Extra water molecules encourage hydration.
- Do not work on the surface of concrete before it cures. Doing so creates structural defects.
We recommend adding one expansion joint to every three metres of concrete. It gives concrete a structure and reduces the negative impact of contractions.
Can I talk to someone about safety advice before the delivery?
We are more than happy to talk about safety procedures.
Our safety practices start at the batching plant. We perform void, moisture, and density tests on each material. This ensures that we provide our customers with the best quality materials.

What is screed?
Floor screed is a building material.
Sand, cement, and water go into our screed. We create a range of batches that contain a sliding scale of sand sizes. You can order everything from extremely fine sand to 10mm pieces of sand.
If you are working on a residential project, you might prefer smaller pieces of sand. Large-scale commercial projects benefit from bigger pieces, which create sturdier mixtures.
Call us on 01992 635454 to arrange a screed delivery.
What is screed used for?
Screeds floors are construction site staples. Contractors in Enfield use our screed to create thin floors. A thin layer of screed usually goes over the top of concrete subfloors. Concrete is far thicker and lumpier, which makes it difficult to build on. By laying a small amount of HH Muckers’ screed on top, you can create smooth surfaces.
Smooth surfaces are also good for different flooring options. Lots of our customers pour a thin layer of screed before they install tiles, carpet, and linoleum. Screed creates an even base for all sorts of floors.
Screed can also support home heating systems. You can pour screed on the top of underfloor heating pipes. This insulates the pipes and creates a base for any other structures.
Is there a difference between screed and concrete?
Floor screeding has the same ingredients as concrete, but it has different qualities. Whereas you would use screed to create a thin floor, you use concrete to create load-bearing structures. This might look like a subfloor, a pillar, or another base.
Our concrete only contains one extra material. We add 20mm pieces of gravel to cement, sand, and water to create sturdy concrete.

What are the main types of floor screed?
We sell the two most popular types of screed.
Floor screed – This is the most traditional and popular type of screed. It is ideal for contractors who need to create thin, smooth layers. Traditional floor screed is usually a prerequisite to tiles, carpet, and linoleum.
Reinforced screed – This screed contains metal mesh fibres. Fibres give the finished product more structure, which means that it is less likely to crack when it dries. It is also less likely to shrink.
How to screed a floor?
Screed floors are not difficult to make. Our screed is comprised of fine pieces of sand. The finer the pieces of sand, the more pliable the mixture.
To screed a floor, just pour the screed and smooth it out. A trowel is all you need to smooth the mixture and create even surfaces.
The trowel might make dents in the surface of your screed. If you want to remove trowel dents, you need a carborundum stone.
How can I cure screed?
To cure floor screeding, you need to be patient.
Screed cures by 65% in a week or so. It is difficult to give exact figures because so many factors are at play. The heat and humidity in the room can have a big impact on the time frame.
How long does screed take to dry?
Concrete screed dries at a rate of 1mm per day. This only applies to layers of screed that are between 1mm and 50mm thick. If the layer is any thicker, it will take longer. Any extra mms over 50 could take an extra day to dry. For example, layers that are 75mm thick will take anywhere from 75 to 100 days to dry.
Can I cancel my order?
We accept cancellations up to 24 hours before the initial ready mix concrete delivery slot.
