Ready Mix Cement is a unique blend of binders and aggregates that are designed to create high strengths with ease. It is used for all types of general building works including; foundations, floors, walls.
The product comes ready to use in a tub from your local builders merchant or can be purchased in bulk from manufacturers such as CEMEX UK and Hanson.
Ready Mix can be bought online from Buildbase and Aggregate Industries, who both offer free delivery on purchases over a certain amount.
Ready mix cement is strong, versatile, and durable making it the ideal choice for a multitude of building applications. The applications range from large scale commercial projects to minor home improvements. Ready Mix Cement is the ideal cement for domestic and some commercial and agricultural uses where a quality assured, measured batch of ready mix is required every time.

Applications
Ready mix cement is effectively batched concrete on steroids. It’s a cement based powder that has aggregates and admixtures added to it before delivery. The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone; the admixtures are additives that can be added to alter the mix before use.
It is supplied in two grades: grade C10 and C20, the numbers indicate the strength of the mix after it has been set.
Ready mix cement is sold as rapid set or fast set ideal for a small projects like building a garden wall. Buy a bag of ready mixed cement and when you’re ready to use it, add water and mix until your mixture is workable. It will then be ready to use within half an hour!
If you’re planning to pour concrete in a larger area, say for a driveway or patio, why not get one of our mixing experts to produce your concrete for you? We offer a range of pre-mixes from basic C10 to heavy duty C40, delivered directly to your door.
Ready mix cement is effectively batched ready for delivery and application. Ready-mix cement is sold as rapid set or fast set ideal for a small projects like building a garden wall. Buy cement in 10kg tubs typically for domestic, smaller commercial/industrial or agricultural uses. Ready mix is ideal for making repairs to stone, brick, concrete and render.
Bagged cement is sold in 50kg bags and ready mix concrete in bulk bags (usually 1m^3).
Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods.
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) is a mixture of cement, aggregates, water and admixture (chemical additives), making it a convenient and economical building material for all kinds of construction. Pre-mixed in the factory to a consistent quality, it improves the quality of construction, enhances productivity of labour on site and reduces site supervision by engineers/architects/supervisors. It helps to achieve faster construction with greater economy.
Ready mix cement is effectively batched concrete on site that is then mixed to a set recipe. It is much easier to get the consistency of mix you require with readymixed concrete than it is with bags of cement and sand, as everything has already been combined in the right proportions in the truck, so all you need to do is add water and start mixing.
Ready mixed concrete can be used for:
Setting posts, poles and piers
Foundations and ground slabs
Patios and pathways
Pouring driveways and curbs
Concreting gutters
Flooring (including shed bases)
Footpaths

Ready-mixed concrete is bought and sold by volume – usually expressed in cubic meters (cbm). For example, C20 (20 newton/28 day strength) concrete has a strength of 20 newtons after 28 days; XC30 (30 newton/28 day strength) has a strength of 30 newtons after 28 days.
Ready-mix concrete or RMC as it’s also known, refers to concrete that is specifically batched or manufactured for customers’ construction projects. It is a mixture of cement, sand, water and aggregates (tiny stones) that is made at a concrete plant instead of mixed on the construction site, which guarantees the quality of the concrete.
The process of ordering ready-mix concrete can be as follows:
1. The customer will need to know what volume of concrete they require. This can be calculated by working out what area is going to be covered and this will have a thickness applied to it. The thickness varies according to the purpose of the concrete being used. The customer will then be able to work out how much ready mix concrete they need from there.
2. When the order has been placed with a supplier, it can take up to two days for it to arrive on site. Using a computerized system, the plant will batch the precise quantities of materials and water needed for the concrete required by using a volumetric measuring device.
3. The truck driver will transport the pre-mixed batch back to site where it can be offloaded using a chute and wheelbarrowed into place by hand
