Ready Mix Concrete in Stourbridge
From DY8's terraced streets to the lanes on its green edge — garden bases, footings and honest small loads, batched on site so half a cubic metre costs half-a-cubic-metre money.
Garden Bases and Footings Around DY8
Stourbridge concrete jobs are mostly modest and mostly personal: a base for the shed or summerhouse, footings for a garden wall, a path re-laid, a greenhouse pad. The frustrating part has never been the concrete — it's finding a supplier who'll turn up for less than a full drum without loading the bill. Our minimum is 0.5m³, there's no part-load penalty, and the meter decides what you pay.
The mixes are simple and worth getting right. An unreinforced shed or workshop base wants C16/20 — the designed-mix equivalent of what builders call GEN3 — at about 100mm deep. Garden wall footings and general strip footings in normal ground take a C8/10 GEN1-equivalent at S3. Mixing 0.8m³ by hand is a long, grim Saturday; the truck batches it in minutes, to a consistent spec, with a batch ticket to show for it. Depths, volumes and edge details are on our shed and garage bases page.
DY8's Rural Fringe, Planned Properly
Stourbridge sits where the Black Country runs out into countryside, and the western edge of DY8 brings country problems: narrow lanes, gateways, and ground that's greener than it is solid. None of it is a dealbreaker — it just needs planning. The truck wants roughly 3m of clear width, 4–4.5m overhead and ground that takes a heavy lorry; on soft ground the driver works off boards or plates. Extension chutes reach around 5m, and where the truck genuinely can't get near, a line pump will carry the mix hundreds of metres to the pour.
Tell us about the route when you book — verges, gates, overhanging trees, that kind of thing. A couple of photos does the job better than a description, and it's how we make sure the first visit is the pouring visit.

Driveways, Bases and Footings Laid in Stourbridge
If you would rather hand the whole job over, we arrange installed concrete work across Stourbridge — Stourbridge’s Edwardian villas, Pedmore and Wollaston semis — through vetted local partners, priced from published 2026 rates before anyone is booked. That covers imprinted concrete driveways, plain concrete driveways, garage, shed and garden-room bases, footings for extensions, patios and paths and driveway repair and resealing.
Two local rules apply to any new drive in Stourbridge: the England-wide requirement that more than 5m² of impermeable front-garden surface is drained to a lawn, border or soakaway (or has planning permission), and the vehicle-crossing process run by Dudley Council, the highway authority here, which needs the drive built and drained before the kerb is dropped. Our driveway rules guide sets out the sequence. Installed work is carried out by a vetted local partner; you'll be told who is attending before the job is booked.
Stourbridge Concrete FAQs
Can you reach properties on the rural edge of Stourbridge?
Usually, with a bit of planning. The truck needs about 3m of clear width, 4–4.5m overhead and ground that takes a heavy lorry — on soft ground the driver lays boards or plates. Extension chutes reach around 5m, and a line pump covers long runs the truck can't make. Photos of the lane and gateway ahead of time mean no surprises on the day.
What mix do I need for a shed base in Stourbridge?
For an unreinforced shed or workshop base, C16/20 — the designed-mix equivalent of what builders call GEN3 — at S2 consistence, laid about 100mm deep. If the base will carry anything with embedded steel, that counts as reinforced work and we'd spec higher; tell us what's going on it.
Can I order less than a cubic metre in DY8?
Yes — our minimum is 0.5m³ and there's no part-load penalty. The truck batches on site and the bill follows the meter, so a small garden job doesn't subsidise an empty drum.
How do I work out how much concrete I need?
Length × width × depth in metres — 100mm is 0.1m. A 3m × 2m shed base at 100mm is 0.6m³. Our concrete calculator does the arithmetic for you, and with volumetric supply a generous estimate costs nothing: the truck carries spare material and you pay only for what's poured.
What does concrete cost in Stourbridge?
Guide prices per cubic metre, +VAT, confirmed when you book: GEN1-equivalent from £99, C20 from £105, C25 from £110. Same-day slots are often available, seven days a week.
