Winning VideosPlease see below a list of all our mix designs we have to offer and their uses for each product. Each mix design can be altered with admixtures and fibres to be suitable for each project. If you require a special mix or a mix design sent to you, then please email our Technician Aaron directly
| C8/10 (Gen 1) | C8/10 concrete mix can be used for drainage works, floor blinding, Foundations for steps and void filling. Useful for a firm base where no structural strength is required. | |
| C12/15 (Gen 2) | C12/15 concrete mix can be used for house floors where a non – permanent finish will be applied (E.g. Carpet). It can be used for kerb bedding where there is no risk to excessive force for example a driveway. | |
| C16/20 (Gen 3) | C16/20 concrete mix can be used for Domestic floors and bases with lighter overall loads including shed bases. | |
| C20/25 (ST2) | C20/25 concrete mix can be used for lightweight, commercial and domestic projects including shed bases, garden wall foundations, Ground foundations and reinforced bases, infills and kerbing. | |
| C25/30 (PAV1/ST3) | C25/30 concrete mix can be used for Commercial and Domestic projects including footings and foundations, Pathways, roadways for yards. |
| C35/45 PAV2 (An air entrained concrete useful for freeze thaw protection) | C35/45 concrete mix can be used for commercial structures with heavy use, piling, external slabs walls, yard and barn containment areas. |
| C32/40 | C32/40 concrete mix is a strong commercial concrete used for HGV Parks, Agricultural yards and chemically harsh environments. |
| C35/45 | C35/45 concrete mix is typically used in specialist projects where high strength and support is key for example areas with aggressive chemicals or high abrasion levels are present. This is a polymer – modified concrete that has a very high flow rate typically 700 to 800mm. |
| Self-Levelling Concrete C35/45 | C35/45 concrete mix works very well with slabs and requires very little work for a smooth finish. |
| C40/50 | C40/50 concrete mix is used for specialised strength for example crane bases. |

| Additive | Purpose | Additive & Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Retarder | Delay setting time and hardening of concrete. (Used in hot Conditions) | Concrete Fibres Improves Durability, Fire Resistance and reduced risk of cracking. |
“We have worked with Mixamate for the best part of 10 years now from our early days to where we are today as a medium sized construction company. As a business we often find ourselves working for clients where access is restricted so Mixamate is the ideal solution to our concrete and screed requirements.”
“On sites with limited space and many restrictions, there isn’t a better option than Mixamate. The drivers always do their best to make it easy for you without any complaints. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for screed or concrete pumping.”
“We have always found Mixamate to be prompt in their service delivery with good communication throughout. I have no trouble at all recommending them to any potential client and wish them all the best for the future.”
“Excellent company. Easy and pleasant to deal with.”
“Belowground Ltd undertake many domestic foundations every year around the South East and find Mixamate the perfect solution for us as they have a large fleet so can deal with short lead in times and the pump trucks are great as saves having 2 large vehicles on site.”
