About Smiths Concrete (Bicester)

Concrete delivery Oxfordshire & Warwickshire

Smiths Concrete Limited started business in 1958 with a single ready-mix plant at Cassington, near Oxford. Over the years, this has grown to embrace seven concrete plants (all QSRMC accredited), one screed plant, two quarries and an inert landfill site.

Firstly, a greenfield site is selected, where sand and gravel is extracted for processing. This is supplied to our various plants for the manufacture of concrete and mortar for delivery to our customers.

The void that has been created is infilled with inert materials (which are carefully monitored) or natural lakes are allowed to form.

Total development is planned well in advance, regulated by local environmental agencies to ensure proper restoration.

Committed to Quality
We are committed to the long-term supply of quality products and services, delivered when required and at competitive prices. We have established an enviable reputation in a complex industry based on this commitment and our values.

Environmental Care
The company is fully committed to planned restoration and conservation, either returning the land back to the farmer or providing lakes for various water activities. Many of the company's sites attract a wide variety of wildlife.

Agricultural Applications
Designated Concretes are quality assured concretes that conform to a specification detailed in BS 8500. These concretes have been selected by governmental bodies and industry to be fit for their intended end uses, and they can only be supplied by ready-mixed concrete producers who have third-party product conformity certification. A QSRMC or BSI logo on the delivery ticket provides this confirmation. Purchasers can therefore be confident that the concrete will be delivered as specified and ordered.

Smiths Concrete Quality Controlled Sand & Cement Mixes
Smiths Concrete produces Sand and Cement to be supplied semi-dry by tipper to your site.

MIXES
Various Sand and Cements are produced to meet most building requirements.

(3-1) Sand and Cement Mixes - Typically used for industrial and heavy domestic purposes.

(4-1) Sand and Cement Mixes - Typically used for general household purposes.

Polypropylene Fibres - These can be added to the above mixes to help overcome the traditional difficulties associated with ensuring the reinforcing mesh is placed at the correct depth. Fibres can substitute the use of crack control mesh and are mixed into the load at the plant, ensuring an even distribution of fibres.

Early Set (E.S.) Sand and Cement - A specialist sand and cement admixture to achieve faster strength gain and quicker drying times. Retardation working times are reduced. For further information, please contact our technical or sales department.
