Most concrete mix designs use the same type of raw materials; cement, water & aggregate (usually sand and stone), in different ratio’s. Some types of concrete have additional materials added to give specialist qualities such as: fibres (extra strength), plasticisers (free flowing, better workability), retarding agents (reduce rate of setting), accelerating chemicals (increase rate of setting), and corrosion inhibitors (reduce corrosion of steel rebars), ensuring every batch performs exactly how your project requires.
This concrete is mixed at the site of your project, this allows us to alter the mix as we go along.

Concrete Calculator
Our ready mix concrete gives us precise control over how much concrete is made for your project. So, how much do you need? The bulk of your concrete will probably be going into a square area, so you calculate how much concrete you need with a few measurements:
When calculating the amount of concrete required, we recommend adding an extra 5-10% onto your total estimate to allow for possible errors as well as spillage or over excavation / uneven surfaces.
When you hire concrete pumps from Spot On Concrete, you will always receive a fully trained operator for the concrete pump. The vast majority of our operators are CPCS qualified pump operators. You and your project will benefit from their considerable expertise and advice as to how and where to place the machinery upon arrival of the vehicle. When the concrete pump is placed on the site, it will transport concrete where you want it in a much quicker and efficient way than traditional methods.
