Summer brings London’s construction industry to life. From garden projects to major commercial builds, the dry weather opens up a narrow window for concrete work. The challenge is finding a supplier who can keep pace with demand.
Express Concrete has been delivering ready mix concrete across the capital since 1991. As a family-owned business, we have grown alongside London, adapting to its changing needs while staying true to what matters most: reliable delivery and quality concrete.
A Network Built for London
London is a sprawling city with complex logistics. Rush hour traffic, congestion zones, and narrow streets make deliveries challenging. That is why we have built a network of plants across the capital.
Our coverage area stretches across Greater London. With plants strategically placed in Barking, Erith, Wembley, and Chessington, we can reach most sites within a short drive. This setup means:
| Location | Advantage |
|---|---|
| North London | Served from Wembley plant |
| South London | Served from Chessington plant |
| East London | Served from Barking and Erith plants |
| Central London | Multiple plant options for fastest route |
Why Multiple Plants Matter in Summer
During the busy summer months, single-plant suppliers struggle to keep up. Orders pile up, delivery slots fill, and you end up waiting when you should be pouring.
Our multi-plant setup solves this problem. If one plant is busy, another can step in. You get more delivery options and faster service, even during peak season.
From Small Pours to Large-Scale Projects
Not every concrete delivery is the same. A homeowner pouring a garden path has different needs than a contractor working on a commercial foundation. We handle both with equal care.
For smaller projects, our metered concrete service lets you pay only for what you use. No guessing quantities, no expensive waste. The concrete arrives ready to pour, and you use exactly what you need.
For larger commercial pours, we coordinate multiple deliveries to keep your site supplied throughout the day. Our experienced team plans the logistics so you can focus on the pour itself.
What Makes Ready-Mix the Right Choice
Ready-mix concrete arrives at your site already mixed to precise specifications. The Concrete Centre provides excellent educational resources about concrete specification and performance for those wanting to understand more about the material.
The benefits of using a professional ready-mix supplier include:
- Consistent quality controlled at the plant
- Exact specifications for your project needs
- No mixing equipment needed on site
- Less mess and cleanup
- Professional delivery direct to your pour location
Guaranteed Delivery Windows
We understand that concrete work is time-sensitive. You cannot pour yesterday’s concrete, and you cannot wait around all day for a delivery that might not come.
That is why we offer guaranteed delivery windows. When we say we will be there, we mean it. Our drivers communicate directly with sites to keep you informed of arrival times.
