Ready Mix & Volumetric Concrete in Stretford
Fresh, on-site mixed concrete delivered across Stretford and the surrounding area — barrowed or pumped exactly where you need it.
Concrete delivery in Stretford
Barrow Mix has been supplying concrete across the North West since 1984. We deliver ready-mix and volumetric concrete throughout Stretford and nearby areas including Old Trafford, Urmston, Firswood and Trafford Park — 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.
Ready Mix Concrete
Fresh, consistent mixes for foundations, bases, floors and more.
Volumetric Concrete
Mixed to order on site — you only pay for exactly what you use.
Concrete Barrowing
Our speciality: we barrow concrete into spots a wagon can’t reach.
Line Pumping
Concrete pumped through hose to gardens, basements and tight access.
Boom Pumping
Reach over buildings and across sites with our boom pump.
Floor Screed
Smooth, level floor screeds for domestic and commercial builds.
Apartment foundations in Stretford
We supplied the concrete foundations for the Edgewater View apartment development in Stretford — a large commercial pour delivered to programme.
A big, continuous supply kept flowing by our volumetric fleet, mixed fresh to the structural grade so the build stayed on schedule.
Stretford’s canalside and infill developments often mean awkward access to reinforced foundations. Running two wagons to feed a boom pump, we placed 95m³ into the ground beams in about four hours — a big commercial pour kept moving.

The ground beneath Stretford
Stretford is off the deep mosses proper, but the low ground toward the Mersey — Turn Moss, Kickety Brook — carries soft, wet alluvium, and the old Trafford Park industrial belt is heavily made ground of variable quality over Mersey-valley deposits. The practical risk is unpredictable made ground and soft alluvial pockets rather than deep peat.
Part of our Peat Mosses ground guide — see how Stretford fits into the wider Greater Manchester Ground Conditions & Foundations Atlas.

Flood risk in Stretford
Most of Stretford is higher ground, but its southern strip along the Mersey and the Bridgewater Canal (Stretford Meadows) is valley-floor floodplain. Only that low ribbon is exposed — check the address.
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.
Why Barrow Mix?
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 →
