Standard concrete supplier
ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5 concrete
Standard concretes are mixes made with a prescribed quantity of materials. They’re made to meet the requirements of the British Standard, which is defined within BS 8500.
Typically, they’re mixed on site for small scale jobs, such as DIY or residential projects. At Micromix, you can order small loads of ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST5 concrete. We offer same-day delivery, so you can keep your project on track, and we specialise in small loads from 0.5m3 – 4.0m3.
