Local ready mix concrete supply across Brighton BN1 and Hove
Brighton is the one place on our patch where the mix specification genuinely changes because of where the site is. Everywhere else, grade is driven by loading. Here it is driven by loading and by how close you are to the sea. Readymix concrete in Brighton and ready mix are the same product, but the exposure class is an extra decision that most suppliers will not raise with you unprompted. It is the difference between a slab that lasts and one that spalls.

Coastal exposure and why Brighton specifications differ
Sites near the seafront sit in an aggressive environment. Airborne chloride from sea spray attacks reinforcement, and exposure conditions are materially more demanding than they are ten miles inland. A mix specified for a site in Horsham is not automatically appropriate for one on Marine Parade or at the Marina.
In practice this means the exposure class matters as much as the strength grade. If your engineer has specified one, give it to us and we will batch to it. If you are unsure, tell us how close to the sea the pour is and we will raise it with you rather than assume.
Ground conditions in Brighton
Brighton sits on the chalk of the South Downs, generally under a thin layer of head deposits and made ground. Chalk is a good bearing stratum, but the made ground in the older parts of the city is highly variable, there are historic chalk pits and infilled ground, and solution features occur.
Where the excavation turns up something unexpected, our volumetric concrete mixers batch on site instead.
Ready mix concrete delivery in Brighton
Brighton is the most demanding delivery environment we work in. Streets through Hanover and Seven Dials climb steeply, terraces are narrow, permit parking runs both sides, and there is often no way to get a mixer within fifty metres of the pour.
Two things need arranging in advance: somewhere legal for the vehicle to stand, which on a residential street almost always means a bay suspension from Brighton and Hove City Council, and how the concrete gets from the vehicle to the pour, which for rear yards, basement flats and lightwells means concrete pump hire in Brighton.
Which concrete grade do you need in Brighton?
Strength grade and exposure class are two separate decisions. A C30 driveway in Patcham and a C30 slab on the seafront may need different specifications despite the same grade.
| Grade | Typical strength | Commonly used for |
|---|---|---|
| GEN1 | Typical strength8N | Commonly used forBlinding, mass fill, kerb bedding |
| GEN3 | Typical strength20N | Commonly used forDomestic foundations, non structural slabs |
| C20 | Typical strength20N | Commonly used forFoundations, shed and garage bases |
| C25 | Typical strength25N | Commonly used forFootings, domestic slabs, driveways |
| C30 | Typical strength30N | Commonly used forDriveways, hardstandings, external paving |
| C35 | Typical strength35N | Commonly used forCommercial slabs, structural work, heavy loading |
| C40 | Typical strength40N | Commonly used forStructural, industrial, high load |
Tell us both the loading and the location and we will specify it.

Ready mix concrete in Brighton: your questions answered
Does concrete near the Brighton seafront need a different mix?+
It can do. Airborne chloride is aggressive to reinforcement. Tell us how close to the sea the pour is and give us any specified exposure class.
What is the difference between a strength grade and an exposure class?+
Grade is how strong the concrete is. Exposure class is what environment it has to survive. Coastal sites often need both specified.
My street is too steep and narrow for a mixer. Can you deliver?+
Yes, with planning. We find a workable standing position and pump the rest.
Do I need to suspend parking bays?+
Almost always on a residential street. The council needs notice, so arrange it early.
Can you deliver to a basement flat?+
Yes, by pairing the delivery with a ground line pump.
