Tight access. Narrow driveways. Sloped ground. If you're running a construction project you may already know how difficult it can be to get concrete exactly where it needs to go.
Traditional delivery methods often fall short when sites are compact, awkwardly shaped, or located behind existing buildings. In these cases, our concrete pumping in Ramsgate offers a safer, faster and more efficient way to pour.
In this guide, we’ll explain when and why to use a pump, what the process involves, and how Reco Readymix supports complex concrete projects across the area.
Ramsgate has a diverse mix of property types and terrain. From compact terraces with narrow side access to sloping coastal plots and busy redevelopment zones, not every job is straightforward.
If your site is difficult to reach, trying to move concrete manually can lead to:
Project delays caused by slow delivery
Physical strain and increased labour costs
Inconsistent pours or lower-quality finishes
Safety risks from lifting or carrying heavy loads
Our concrete pumping in Ramsgate helps overcome these issues by delivering concrete directly where it’s needed, with minimal mess or disruption. For both residential and commercial work, this is often the most practical solution.
Depending on your access and your location, we use:
Boom Pumps for elevated or hard-to-reach areas
Line Pumps for long horizontal distances or ground-level pours
Our team evaluates your site to recommend the best fit, ensuring safe and efficient placement.
We work with your site layout to safely position equipment, taking into account overhead obstructions, ground conditions and space restrictions.
Concrete is pumped directly to the pour area, helping reduce waste and time on site. It’s ideal for basements, extensions, or properties with no rear vehicle access.
Is concrete pumping more expensive than wheelbarrowing?
While pumping has an upfront cost, it often reduces labour hours and site disruption, which can lead to savings overall.
Is concrete pumping safe for residential areas?
Yes. We follow strict safety guidelines and only use certified operators to ensure the process is controlled and compliant.
Can a concrete pump be used in bad weather?
Yes. Pumps can operate in most conditions. However, heavy rain or freezing temperatures may impact concrete setting time.
