    Your Personal Concrete Company Offering Unrivalled Customer Service We pride ourselves on offering an unrivalled customer service from start to finish. Here at Base Concrete, we specialise in ready-mixed concrete for commercial and DIY customers alike in Watford, Welwyn, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, St.Albans, Aylesbury and all surrounding areas of North London. Through several tweaks in our functioning, we have streamlined our workflow to provide you with the most hassle-free experience out there. This has helped us in garnering a reputation second to none. From highest quality concrete to its efficient supply at the construction site, trust us to simply deliver!We pride ourselves on having helpful and friendly staff, and always aim to leave your site clean and tidy, which you don’t always find in our industry. We can offer small lorries (the same size as a 6 yard skip lorry), these lorries can carry up to 4.5m. Also 8m size lorries for larger amounts and when you have better access. Now we also can offer volumetric mix onsite lorries, or for when you have bad access we can offer our concrete line pumps.Our concrete pumps are becoming increasingly popular as they can be the answer to bad access and also save on labour costs and speed up progress of the project. We have line pumps (that run pipes along the ground) or our 24m boom pump (this has a crane arm that can be elevated). We can deliver a wide variety of concrete mixes from a shed base to water proof concrete. The process that they use is to make you aware of how much concrete is in the line that they have laid out, we make sure that we stop pumping when there is just enough room left in your site to take what is left in our hopper and the pipeline, when the hopper is almost empty, the operator will blow a ball by air pressure through the pipeline into your site so as to push all of the concrete into the site after this there will be about 2 wheelbarrows left in the hopper that can be wheeled into your site so there is almost no waste or mess at all.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How do you handle soil disposal after excavation?

Responsible soil disposal after excavation is essential. Excavation contractors typically handle it by:
  • Hauling to Designated Disposal Sites: Transporting excavated material to approved landfills or recycling centers.
  • Recycling or Reuse: If suitable, some excavated soil might be recycled for other projects or reused on-site for landscaping or backfilling.
  • Complying with Regulations: Adhering to local and environmental regulations for soil disposal to prevent contamination or illegal dumping.
Discuss disposal plans with your contractor, inquire about recycling options, and ensure they handle waste responsibly.

How do I know if I need a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or rock and prevent erosion on sloped terrain. You might need a retaining wall if:
  • Sloped Property: Your property has a significant slope, making it prone to soil erosion or landslides.
  • Creating Usable Space: You want to level off a sloped area to create a flat surface for patios, gardens, or other outdoor spaces.
  • Preventing Damage: Erosion is threatening existing structures, driveways, or walkways.
  • Landscaping Features: You're incorporating tiered gardens, raised beds, or other landscaping elements requiring soil retention.
Consult with an excavation contractor or landscape architect to determine if a retaining wall is necessary for your project and to ensure it's properly designed and constructed for safety and longevity.

How much does it cost to excavate a basement?

Basement excavation costs can fluctuate considerably based on these factors:
  • Basement Size: The larger the basement, the more excavation is required, increasing the cost.
  • Soil Type: Excavating rocky or dense clay soil is generally more expensive than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or more labor, driving up costs.
  • Foundation Type: The chosen foundation type (full basement, crawl space, slab) affects excavation needs.
  • Underpinning: If underpinning (strengthening existing foundations) is necessary, it significantly increases costs.
  • Disposal Fees: Hauling excavated soil to disposal sites adds to the overall expense.
Contact excavation contractors for detailed quotes based on your specific basement project.

What are the risks associated with excavation?

Excavation, while essential for many projects, involves inherent risks, including:
  • Trench Collapses: Unstable trench walls can cave in, posing a severe risk to workers. Proper shoring and sloping are crucial safety measures.
  • Utility Damage: Striking underground utilities (gas, water, electric) can cause leaks, explosions, or electrocution. Accurate utility locates and careful digging are essential.
  • Falling Objects: Materials or equipment falling into excavations can injure workers. Securing work areas and using appropriate safety gear is vital.
  • Equipment Accidents: Operating heavy machinery involves risks of rollovers, collisions, or mechanical failures. Trained operators and proper equipment maintenance are critical.
  • Environmental Hazards: Excavated soil might contain hazardous materials (asbestos, lead). Proper testing and disposal procedures are necessary.
Reputable excavation contractors prioritize safety and have protocols to mitigate these risks.
