Free Barrowing Service
We don’t just drop the concrete and go. Our team barrows it to exactly where it’s needed — round the back, down the side, into the garden — and it’s included free with your delivery.
It’s right there in our name. With Barrow Mix, barrowing is part of the service — and it’s free. When our volumetric wagon arrives, we don’t just discharge the concrete at the kerb and leave you to it. Our team will barrow the concrete to wherever it needs to go on your site, however awkward the access.
Tight side passage? Concrete needed in the back garden? No driveway to back the wagon onto? That’s exactly what the barrowing service is for. And because we mix volumetrically on site, you only ever pay for the concrete you actually use — no part-loads wasted, no minimum drum loads going off in transit.
And if a job’s too far or too tricky to barrow? If we can’t barrow it, we’ll pump it. Between the barrowing service and our concrete pumps, there’s almost nowhere we can’t get fresh concrete to.
Why the barrowing service matters
Reaches awkward access
Back gardens, side alleys, around the house — we barrow the concrete to the spot, so you’re not left moving it yourself.
Only pay for what you use
Volumetric mixing means we batch exactly what the job needs on site — no part-loads wasted, no paying for concrete you don’t use.
Included free
The barrowing is part of the service at no extra cost — it’s the Barrow Mix way, and it’s been our name since 1984.
Or we’ll pump it
If a pour’s too far, too high or too tricky to barrow, we’ll bring a concrete pump instead. Between the two, almost no site is out of reach.

Free barrowing — FAQs
Is the barrowing service really free?
Yes — barrowing is included with your concrete at no extra charge. Because we mix volumetrically on site, you only pay for the concrete you actually use; getting it to where it’s needed is part of the service.
Where can you barrow the concrete to?
Wherever it needs to go on your site — round the back, down the side, into the garden, or anywhere a wagon can’t reach. Our team barrows it to the pour so you don’t have to shift it yourself.
What if the job’s too far or too tricky to barrow?
Then we’ll pump it. We run concrete pumps for jobs that are too far, too high or too awkward for barrowing — see our concrete pumping service. Between barrowing and pumping, there’s almost nowhere we can’t get fresh concrete.
