Volumetric concrete delivered across Preston and the PR1–PR5 area · nearest depot: Warrington depot (Warrington, WA3)
Procon 24/7 delivers volumetric concrete across Preston and the surrounding area — the PR1 to PR5 postcodes from the city centre and the Guild Hall quarter to Fulwood, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, Walton-le-Dale, Lostock Hall and the Cottam, Cuerden and City Deal development areas off junctions 31 and 32 of the M6 and the M55.
Preston's City Deal housing and infrastructure programme, the docklands and the business parks keep us busy — foundations and oversite slabs, warehouse and yard slabs, plant bases, driveways, garage and workshop bases — with concrete pumping when access is tight. Volumetric mixing means the exact volume with no part-load charge. Preston is a comfortable run from our Warrington depot up the M6; same-day and next-day slots are usually available — call 0192 555 1617.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Ask away!
What is volumetric concrete?
Volumetric concrete is mixed on your site by a mobile mixer that carries the raw materials separately. It is batched fresh at the point of pour, so you get exactly the grade and the volume you need, with nothing pre-mixed.
How is it different from a ready-mix drum wagon?
A drum wagon arrives pre-mixed — you pay for the whole load and race a 90-minute clock. Our volumetric truck mixes as you pour, so you pay only for what you use, there are no part-load charges, and there is no time pressure.
Do I really only pay for what I pour?
Yes. The truck meters every cubic metre mixed. If your job needs less than expected you simply stop — no full-load minimum and no charge for concrete you did not use.
Can I get more than one mix on a single delivery?
Yes. Because the materials are mixed on site, one truck can switch between grades and mixes on the same visit — handy when a job needs, say, a footing mix and a floor mix.
What concrete grade do I need?
Driveways and paths usually take C25, structural slabs and footings C30, commercial and heavy-duty work C35–C40. Tell us the job on the quote form and we will specify it for you.
Do you supply rapid-set concrete?
Yes — our URS (Ultra Rapid Set) mix reaches working strength in around two hours, ideal for time-critical work like rail, highways and out-of-hours jobs. Ask for it when you request a quote.
