A housing estate foundation pour in Thelwall
When Calore Homes needed the foundations poured for their new housing estate in Thelwall, they called Barrow Mix — and the whole lot went in by pump in a single day, over 150m³ across the plots.
A pump is the right tool for a site like this: the strip footings run the full outline of every house, so we can work the concrete along each trench in turn instead of manoeuvring a wagon around half-dug plots. Every load was batched fresh on our volumetric wagons and metered straight into the footings, keeping a big day’s pour moving from first thing to last.
It’s the kind of new-build groundworks pour we handle regularly for developers and groundworkers across Warrington and Cheshire — foundations, floors and large-volume site pours, delivered and pumped in one visit.
- Over 150m³ pumped in a single day
- Trench-fill / strip foundations across every plot
- Fed in by pump — no wagons churning the site
- Volumetric concrete, mixed fresh on site
A no-fines concrete base in Warrington
When a customer in Warrington needed a base that wouldn’t hold water, we supplied no-fines concrete — an open-textured, porous mix with the fine sand left out, so surface water drains straight through instead of pooling on top. It’s the right choice for driveways, shed and greenhouse bases, and any hardstanding where drainage matters.
Like every Warrington job, it was mixed fresh on site by our volumetric wagons — so the customer paid for exactly what the base needed with nothing wasted — and barrowed straight to the spot.
Warrington has a steady flow of commercial and office schemes, and where there’s no drainage on site a permeable no-fines base is the sensible answer — its open, sand-free structure lets surface water soak straight through instead of pooling. We mixed it fresh on site and, with the pour booked for a Saturday, had it laid and away before the offices filled back up on Monday.

The ground beneath Warrington
Warrington straddles two very different regimes. Through the Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal corridor the ground is soft alluvium and made ground; on the land rising away from it, firmer glacial till over Sherwood Sandstone (with Mercia Mudstone in places). The town’s long industrial history means made ground is widespread in the corridor.

Flood risk in Warrington
The River Mersey runs right through the centre of Warrington — Latchford, Howley, Arpley and Lower Walton — and the town has a long flood history (the February 1990 flood, tidal events in 2013) that prompted a major Environment Agency Mersey flood-risk management scheme. The low ground along the river carries EA flood-zone ground; the higher land away from it is drier.
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 →
