Concrete for foundations, screeds and slabs
The grade is chosen for the structure, not for maximum strength. Blinding and preparation use low grades; a house strip foundation usually takes M200 to M250; monolithic slabs and raft foundations go higher. Strength class is marked with B: M250 corresponds roughly to B20. Over-specifying costs money and is not always helpful, because a stiffer mix places poorly in a narrow formwork.
Volume is calculated before the call, not on site. For a strip it is perimeter × width × height; for a slab, area × thickness, plus an allowance for an uneven base. A concrete order is always tied to time: the mix has a limited working life in the truck, so formwork, reinforcement and people must be ready when it arrives.
Sizes
What to confirm before ordering
- type of structure
- required grade or class
- volume in cubic metres
- address and truck access
- date and time of delivery
A manager quotes for your volume and delivery address — send a request or call us.

How we handle concrete
Volume calculation
We work out the cubic metres from your dimensions with an allowance, so a second truck is not called for 0.3 m³.
Timing agreed
We agree the delivery slot: concrete arrives when the formwork and the crew are ready.
Questions and answers
Concrete questions
Which grade suits a strip foundation?
Private houses usually work around M200 to M250. The exact grade comes from the design and depends on load, soil and foundation type.
How much concrete do I need?
For a strip, multiply perimeter by width and height; for a slab, area by thickness. A worked example is in our reference section.
What do M250 and B20 mean?
M is the old compressive-strength grade, B is the modern class. M250 corresponds roughly to B20; both appear on the paperwork.
How long is there to place it?
The mix stays workable for a limited time after loading, and less in hot weather. Formwork, reinforcement, vibrator and crew are prepared before the truck arrives, not after.
