Summer is the busiest time for construction in London. The dry weather creates perfect conditions for pouring concrete, but it also means tighter project windows. When the sun is out, every hour counts.
If you are working on a project in Bexley or Erith, you need a concrete supplier who understands this pressure. That is where Express Concrete comes in. Our Erith plant sits right in the heart of south-east London, putting us just minutes away from your site.
Why Local Delivery Matters for Summer Projects
Concrete does not wait around. Once mixed, you have a limited time to pour and finish it before it starts to set. In hot summer weather, this window gets even shorter.
Having a supplier close to your site makes all the difference. Our Erith plant means we can get fresh concrete to Bexley and surrounding areas quickly. Less time on the road equals more working time for your pour.
| Delivery Factor | Local Plant Benefit |
|---|---|
| Travel time | Shorter journeys mean fresher concrete |
| Scheduling | More flexible delivery slots available |
| Response time | Quick top-ups if you need extra concrete |
| Summer heat | Less time for concrete to heat up in transit |

Getting the Best Results in Summer Heat
Hot weather affects how concrete cures. The Concrete Society offers helpful guidance on hot weather concreting to help you plan your pour properly.
Here are some quick tips for summer pours:
- Pour in the cooler parts of the day when possible
- Have everything ready before the concrete arrives
- Keep the surface damp while curing
- Cover finished concrete to prevent rapid drying
