At Sheridan Concrete, we’re used to pouring with precision, but this time, it wasn’t pints behind the bar; it was 7m³ of high-quality concrete for a contractor working on a former pub site in Hulme, Manchester (Guildhall Close, M15 6SY). – The Old Abbey Taphouse
🍻 From Pulling Pints to Pouring Concrete
This particular site has a bit of local history. However, the pub sadly closed its doors at the beginning of March, leaving many wondering what’s next for the space. While the taps may have run dry for now, we’ve been on-site helping lay the groundwork, quite literally, for whatever comes next.
🏗️ The Job: 7m³ Cube Concrete Pour in Hulme
Working alongside a trusted contractor, our team delivered a 7m³ concrete pour, ensuring everything ran as smoothly as a perfectly pulled lager.
What we focused on:
✔️ Efficient delivery & pour timing – no delays, no wasted mix
✔️ Consistent quality concrete – strong, reliable, and built to last
✔️ Seamless coordination on-site – keeping the project flowing
Just like a busy bar on a Friday night, it’s all about keeping things moving without compromising quality.
🔧 Why Concrete Pouring Is Like Pouring the Perfect Pint
It might sound like a stretch, but hear us out:
- Too fast? You ruin the finish (or the head on your pint)
- Too slow? You lose consistency and timing
- Wrong mix? The whole thing’s off
Whether it’s a creamy stout or a structural slab, getting the balance right is what separates average from exceptional.
👀 What’s Next for The Old Abby Taphouse
Right now, the future of the building remains uncertain. With the pub now closed, there’s speculation about redevelopment or a new business taking over the space.
At Sheridan Concrete, we’re keeping a close eye on things, and if we’re called back to pour again, you’ll hear it from us first.
