30m³ of no-fines concrete for a Knutsford driveway
We supplied 30 cubic metres of no-fines concrete for a driveway in Knutsford — a free-draining, permeable base that lets rainwater soak straight through instead of running off.
volumetric mixed on site so the customer got exactly the 30m³ the job needed with nothing wasted, and barrowed into place.
Knutsford has plenty of larger homes where a permeable driveway is wanted or required for drainage. No-fines concrete lets rainwater soak straight through — we mix it fresh to the right open grade and lay it across the drive and forecourt in a single pour.

The ground beneath Knutsford
The Knutsford area is known for its Devensian glacial sand and gravel and morainic topography — spreads of granular glaciofluvial deposits interfingering with till on the Cheshire plain. The practical point is lateral variability: clean free-draining sand and gravel can give way to soft till or silt over a short distance, so bearing capacity changes across a single plot.

Flood risk in Knutsford
Much of Knutsford is elevated, but its low-lying parts — in the Bollin catchment and toward Birkin Brook to the north — are named in the Bollin catchment flood alert. Only the low ground is affected.
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 →
