Every concrete supplier serving Epsom drives in from somewhere else. The nearest plants sit in Banstead, Surbiton and Morden. Ours is on Beddington Lane. What separates them is not mileage, it is whether the lorry arrives when it was promised. King Concrete Pumping supplies ready mix and volumetric concrete across KT17 to KT19, pumped into position where needed. Call 0330 016 1060.
Epsom is not one kind of housing, and the concrete job changes with the street. The interwar and postwar semis out towards Stoneleigh and Ewell tend to have generous plots and long rear gardens. A mixer parked on the road can easily be forty or fifty metres from where the concrete is going, which is a long barrow run and an easy way to lose a morning. That is pump territory, and the pump usually costs less than the labour of doing it by hand.
Closer in, the Victorian terraces around the town centre and the roads off the High Street have the opposite problem. Not distance, but width. No side access, parked cars, and a narrow route to the back. Up towards Epsom Downs and the racecourse the plots get larger again, and around the town centre the flats and conversions bring the standard upper floor question, which is a boom pump job rather than a hose along the ground. Tell us which of those sounds like your site and we can tell you what it needs before you commit to anything.
Most people ring up knowing what they are building, not which grade they want. So work from the job.
| What You Are Building | What To Ask For |
|---|---|
| Fence posts and small setting work | A low grade mix, or bagged concrete if the volume is tiny |
| Shed, garden room or greenhouse base | C20 at 100mm |
| Extension or conservatory footings | C25, or whatever building control specifies |
| Driveway or garage base | C30 at 100mm to 150mm |
| Workshop or outbuilding floor | C25 to C30 depending on what goes on it |
| Commercial slab or industrial floor | C35 to C40, per the engineer |
Anything structural gets its grade from building control or your structural engineer, and we will supply exactly what is specified. For everything else, tell us what the concrete is going under.
Three things decide whether you need a pump: how far the pour is from where a lorry can stand, whether there is a change in level, and whether anything is in the way. A ground line pump handles distance and obstacles at ground level, pushing concrete through a hose around a house and down a garden. A boom pump handles height and reach, placing concrete from an extending arm, which suits raised pours, deliveries over a building, or long runs where a hose would be impractical. If a barrow run would take more than a few minutes per load, a pump almost always works out cheaper once you count the labour, and the pour is cleaner for it.
None of the suppliers serving Epsom are based in Epsom. Check the map pack on any concrete search here and you will find Banstead, Surbiton and Morden. So the question is not who is nearest, because nobody is. The question is who tells you the truth about the date. Concrete that arrives two hours late costs you a day of labour standing around, and a supplier who takes the booking knowing it is tight has cost you more than one who said no. Our yard is on Beddington Lane. Epsom jobs want a bit more notice than the towns on our doorstep, and we will say so when a date is not realistic rather than finding out together on the morning. That is the trade off, stated plainly.
Not every Epsom job is a single delivery. Larger slabs, multi plot developments and anything with a design mix specification need planning rather than a phone call the day before. On a big slab the question is whether it goes in one pour or several. One pour avoids joints and is usually the better result, but it needs the volume, the labour and the pump capacity lined up on the same morning. Several pours means designed joints in agreed positions, which is perfectly sound if it is planned and a problem if it is improvised because the concrete ran out. Phased work across a development has a different rhythm. Foundations go in as plots are dug, which means repeat deliveries over weeks rather than one big day. That suits us better than a single enormous pour, because it is predictable. If your engineer has specified a design mix rather than a standard grade, send us the specification. We will supply to it rather than substituting something close.
Expect roughly £100 to £200 per cubic metre for the material and £120 to £200 for delivery, on Yell’s published ranges, with line pump hire from around £250 a day. Epsom searches skew heavily towards price, so here is the honest version: no supplier here is local, everyone is paying to travel, and a quote well under the range usually means something has been left out. Call 0330 016 1060 and we will show you the whole figure.
Yes. Epsom town centre, Epsom Downs and Ewell are all within the area we serve, alongside the rest of Surrey, Kent, Sussex and South London.
Yes, that is exactly what a ground line pump is for. Concrete goes through a hose from the lorry on the road to wherever the pour is, around the house and down the garden.
For small volumes, bagged concrete from a merchant. From roughly half a cubic metre upwards, volumetric concrete usually wins, because it is batched on site and you pay only for what you use. Ready mix becomes better value once the volume is known and large enough to fill a truck properly..
The trade norm for ready mix is 24 to 48 hours, and Epsom sits at the longer end of our patch, so treat that as the floor rather than the target. Larger pours and anything needing a boom pump want more. Call with your date and we will give you a straight answer rather than a hopeful one.
Yes. Send us the specification and we will supply to it. We would rather work from the engineer’s figures than guess at a close equivalent.
Yes. We supply groundworkers, developers and commercial contractors alongside homeowners, and phased delivery across a development over several weeks is a normal pattern of work for us.
Give us as much notice as you can and we will give you a straight answer on the date. Ring 0330 016 1060 with the volume, the KT postcode and how far the pour sits from the road, or email enquiries@kingconcretepumping.co.uk.
A few other areas we cover include Sutton, Croydon and Carshalton.
