Housing Applications

Ashcourt Concrete can assist you with your concrete requirements every step of the way. No matter how big or how small your housing project is we pride ourselves in making sure our customers are supplied with the suitable mix required for their project as per the guidance from British Standards.


FOUNDATIONS: SINGLE STOREY

Recommended for uses as per the British Standards, we can supply a cost effective GEN1 mix suitable for some of the following applications:

  • House foundations
  • Domestic garage foundations
  • Garden wall foundations
  • Conservatory foundations

If you have foundations for double storey or higher then we can recommend a slightly stronger mix in a GEN3 but again these would be un-reinforced so no steel. If you have some drawings for your project and there has been reinforcing specified then there may also be a stronger mix specified, this generally is an RC28/35 but details of exact mix requirement should be stated on the drawings. If you are unsure, please contact one of our team for further assistance!


FLOORS: HOUSE / GARAGE / SHED

Recommended for uses as per the British Standards, we can supply either a GEN3 mix for un-reinforced floors or a stronger RC28/35 for any floors that have steel reinforcing specified in them.

  • Garage floors
  • Shed floors


PAVING: DRIVEWAYS / PATHS

Recommended for uses as per the British Standards, we can supply a PAV1 mix for some of the following applications:
