Why use concrete blocks?

Manufactured from cement, sand and aggregates, dense concrete blocks are well known throughout the construction industry for their exceptional durability and strength, which makes them perfect for a number of uses, including building load-bearing walls. A cost-effective solution, concrete blocks also allow for rapid construction on any project, saving you valuable time and money.

Concrete blocks also have a high thermal mass which means they are extremely effective at absorbing and storing heat. When a building is designed and constructed well, concrete blocks help keep it cool during the summer months and warm in the winter. This allows the building to achieve the highest levels of long-term energy efficiency possible and contributes to the building’s overall sustainability and low running costs.

As well as our dense concrete blocks, at Wright Minimix we also offer bulk bags of sand and aggregate and cement waterproof bags. To find out more or to place an order, contact us today on 0117 9582090.

COVID-19 Update From Wright Minimix

19th March 2020

We would like to take this opportunity to share a statement from our Directors in regard to the current situation and our response:

"At this time we are Covid free and taking on orders as usual.

This is a developing situation beyond our control and we have no idea how badly our ability to supply will be affected. We do not intend to voluntarily close our business but all our personnel are expected to follow the government guidance should they exhibit symptoms. What effect this ultimately has on our workforce and numbers at work we do not know and cannot guess. At worst we expect to be able to carry on with a limited supply to those customers who are able to work themselves. Please keep calling us to place orders."

The entire team at Wright Minimix thanks you for your continued support at this time.

How to ensure a smooth ready mix concrete delivery

25th February 2020

The success to any project is managing your time effectively so to ensure your delivery of ready mix concrete is smooth and stress free, follow these tips from the experts at Wright Minimix, a leading manufacturer and supplier of concrete.

Choose the right ready mix concrete contractors

Possibly the most important factor of a successful concrete delivery is choosing the right contractor in the first place. A concrete contractor that has several years of experience working in the industry, has built up a respectable portfolio and can provide testimonials from happy customers are all good indicators that your chosen supplier can deliver exactly what they promise.

Establish what you need the concrete for

It’ll come as no surprise that not all concrete is the same and that because of this, you need to know what you will be using the ready mix concrete for before you place an order. If you’re not sure, a reputable concrete contractor will be able to advise you and ensure you receive concrete that has been mixed to the exact specifications for your needs.

Calculate how much concrete you will need

Once you’ve settled on a concrete contractor and established what type of concrete you require, your next step is to calculate how much you need. It’s incredibly important to get this right as you don’t want to be left with too little and having to order more or left with too much and then having to organise and pay for its disposal. If you’re not sure how much concrete you will need for your project, use our handy online volume calculator to give you a good estimation.

Prepare the site for your delivery

Last but not least on the road to a successful concrete delivery is making sure your site it prepared to receive it. This includes making sure access to your site isn’t obstructed, so the delivery truck has clear access, and that the location of the pour is completely ready.
