The Firm Behind the Mixer
Concrete is a trust purchase — once it's poured, it's poured. We're the phone number behind the mixer, not the mixer itself: a Birmingham concrete enquiry line that prices your job the same day and places it with a vetted local partner.
Built Around One Simple Deal
Birmingham Ready Mix Concrete is a concrete enquiry line for Birmingham and the West Midlands. Send the job, the postcode and a rough size; we price it the same working day and arrange it with the local partner best placed to do it. Supply — ready mix concrete, floor screed and pump hire — goes to a vetted volumetric delivery partner: concrete mixed on site and metered as it pours, so you pay for what goes in the ground, from 0.5m³ with no part-load penalty. Installed work — imprinted and plain concrete driveways, garage, shed and garden-room bases, footings, patios and repairs — goes to a vetted local installation partner who quotes, turns up and does the job.
That's the deal in one sentence: one call, priced honestly, handed to the right truck or the right crew. We don't own the mixers and we don't lay the slabs, and we'd rather say so than let a website imply otherwise.
Guide prices are published, per cubic metre, on the pages themselves — from £99/m³ +VAT, confirmed when you book. If a C20 does your job, nobody will sell you a C35; the grades guide shows the working. And where a specification strictly requires third-party-certified designated concrete, we'll say so and point you right.

What “Vetted” Actually Means
Insurance checked
Every partner holds current public liability insurance, and we check the certificate before they take a job through us.
References taken
Recent, relevant jobs, and we speak to the customers. Partners are matched to the work they're proven at.
BS 8500 mixes, ticketed
Delivery partners batch designed mixes to the strength and durability requirements of BS 8500 / BS EN 206, with a batch ticket on every load.
Building Control-compliant footings
Installation partners pour footings to the depth and spec Building Control signs off, with the inspection booked before the concrete goes in.
Washout done properly
Partners contain their washout and take it away — never your drain, never the cut.
No water games
Nobody “loosens it up” with a hose on site; workability is set at the point of batching, where it belongs.
Who Does the Work?
Enquiries are passed to the local delivery or installation partner best placed for the job; you will be told who is attending before any work is booked.
You speak to us: we take the details, sense-check the grade and volume, and give you a price. We pass the job to the partner, who confirms the slot with you directly, attends and does the work — batching and delivering the concrete, or laying the driveway, base or footings. Your contract for the supply or the installation is with that partner, and their name, insurance and terms are available before you commit. If something changes on the day, you deal with the people on your drive — and we stay on the phone if you need us.
Why Arrange It This Way?
Because it works better for the customer. One number covers a half-cube shed base, a scheduled commercial pour, a pumped rear-garden slab and a full imprinted driveway — and each goes to the truck or crew that actually suits it: small loads to volumetric partners who price them as normal jobs, installed work to crews who do that job every week.
It also keeps us honest: we don't earn more by talking you up a grade, and we've no drum to fill. The advice in our guides is the advice we give on the phone — sources named, so you can check the working.
