C25 is the domestic all-rounder — strong enough for driveways, reinforced foundations and external slabs — mixed fresh on-site to BS 8500, only paying for what you use.
C25 concrete reaches a characteristic compressive strength of 25 N/mm² at 28 days. It’s the most popular grade for domestic and light commercial work because it strikes the balance between strength and cost — tough enough for vehicles and reinforced structures, without paying for more strength than the job needs.
Barrow Mix supplies C25 fresh on-site across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the North West, batched to BS 8500 by our volumetric wagons, with free barrowing to the spot.
