Concrete with confidence - MIXED ON SITE

Abfab Concrete aim to take away the worry that you can get with a concrete delivery, so that you get just the amount of concrete to complete the job, the effort needed to complete the job is minimised and that you know the full cost of the job before delivery.

We are probably the only concrete company in Bristol that will give you the full price you can expect to pay for your delivery. Most companies will only answer your questions and will not offer the full information that you need to evaluate the different prices which you have got. Always remember that the price of a concrete delivery may comprise of a number of factors. We have constructed a list of the differences that you can expect to get between different concrete companies.

Essentially the main reasons for different pricing structures is that for a 'Ready Mixed Concrete' delivery the

concrete comes to you already mixed and to the volume that you ordered over the telephone. With ABFAB the concrete is 'Mixed on Site' as it is being poured, so therefore we can much more accurately deliver the exact amount that you require. It may be very difficult to calculate before hand how much concrete is required, therefore having the concrete mixed on site you can control the price that you pay.

Compare a typical Ready Mixed Concrete Company with an ABFAB Concrete delivery.
