Concrete plays a crucial role in modern house construction. From foundations and floor slabs to structural elements and extensions, high quality concrete provides the strength and durability required to support residential buildings for decades.
At Sussex Ready Mix Concrete, we supply reliable concrete mixes for house construction projects across Sussex. Whether you are building a new home, constructing an extension, or completing structural groundworks, our team delivers fresh concrete mixed on site to your required specification.
Our volumetric mixing technology ensures accurate quantities, flexible pours, and consistent mix quality for builders, contractors, and homeowners.
Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in residential construction due to its strength, versatility, and durability. In house building projects, concrete is commonly used for:
Strip foundations and trench fill foundations
House floor slabs
Structural footings
Garage bases and outbuildings
Reinforced concrete elements
Groundworks and substructures
Using the correct concrete mix helps ensure that the structure can safely support the loads from the building and resist environmental conditions over time.
Residential construction typically requires medium to high strength concrete mixes depending on the structural design. In the UK, mixes such as C20/25 or C25/30 are commonly used for house foundations and slabs. These grades provide the compressive strength required for domestic structures and general groundworks.
For many residential foundations, C25/30 concrete is considered the standard choice, offering a good balance of strength, durability, and cost effectiveness for typical house builds.
Our team can advise on the most suitable mix for your project based on building plans, soil conditions, and structural requirements.
Using volumetric concrete mixers allows us to prepare fresh concrete directly at your site.

Fresh concrete mixed at the point of delivery
