Fresh, on-site mixed concrete delivered across New Mills and the surrounding area — barrowed or pumped exactly where you need it.
Barrow Mix has been supplying concrete across the North West since 1984. We deliver ready-mix and volumetric concrete throughout New Mills and nearby areas including Disley, Whaley Bridge, Hayfield and Marple — mixing every load fresh on site so there’s no part-load waste, and getting it into place by barrow, line pump or boom pump whatever the access.
Fresh, consistent mixes for foundations, bases, floors and more.
Mixed to order on site — you only pay for exactly what you use.
Our speciality: we barrow concrete into spots a wagon can’t reach.
Concrete pumped through hose to gardens, basements and tight access.
Reach over buildings and across sites with our boom pump.
Smooth, level floor screeds for domestic and commercial builds.
New Mills is built around the Torrs gorge at the Goyt–Sett confluence, where Millstone Grit rockhead is at or near the surface. Superficial cover is thin on the gritstone shoulders and confined to the valley floors. The governing risk here is the steep valley and gorge sides — slope instability and landslip potential — along with abrupt rockhead.

New Mills sits on the gritstone fringe around the Torrs gorge, within or partly within a Radon Affected Area — the elevated-radon ground of the Peak edge.
if the address is affected, the ground-floor slab may need a radon barrier (and a sump at higher levels) under building regs. That specification is your designer’s and building control’s call — we pour the concrete floor to suit the specified membrane and sump detail.
See radon & concrete ground floors for what the building regs require. Check the specific address on the UKHSA radon map (ukradon.org) — radon is mapped per 1 km square, so it varies within a town. General guidance only, not a site assessment.
New Mills sits high above the Goyt–Sett gorge, so most of the town is well clear of the water — but the riverside properties toward Furness Vale were evacuated in 2019. It’s the valley-floor plots, not the town proper, that carry the risk.
If your plot is on the low-lying ground, a Flood Risk Assessment may set a raised floor level and flood-resilient construction — a solid, low-permeability slab over continuous tanking. We pour the specified concrete to suit; the FRA and floor levels come from your designer and building control, not from us.
See flood risk & concrete for what’s required. Check the specific address on the EA flood map for planning — only the low-lying/valley-floor part of the area is affected, not the whole town. General guidance only.
We run our own quarry, wagons and pumps — a genuinely self-sufficient supplier, so we’re not waiting on anyone else to get your concrete to site. See why that matters →
