Sheridan Concrete are passionate about finding practical solutions for concreate in Greater Manchester and beyond. Whether it’s a straightforward driveway pour or a tricky access job that others shy away from.
Recently, we tackled a delivery in Macclesfield that really showed what teamwork and experience can achieve.
8 Cubes and a Sloping Site
A contractor in Macclesfield called us needing 8 m³ (eight cubic tonnes) of concrete delivered on short notice. This sounds simple enough, except the pour point was down a steep slope, with no easy vehicle access and limited space for manoeuvring.
A standard mixer truck wasn’t going to get the job done, so our team put their heads together and came up with a plan.
Creative Thinking on Site
Instead of forcing bulky equipment into a spot that wasn’t suitable, we opted for our trusted barrow mix service. With barrow mixes, we batch the concrete on site and wheel it exactly where it’s needed, the ideal choice for restricted or uneven terrain like this one.
Our crew worked efficiently to pour and place each load down the slope safely and with minimal disruption. That old “just wheel it” attitude might seem basic, but when it’s done right, it’s incredibly reliable, clean, and helps everyone finish on time.
What Made the Difference?
A few things stood out on this job:
-
Flexible thinking: We didn’t force a standard solution where it didn’t fit, we adapted.
-
Experienced team: Our guys knew how to manage the mixes, keep them flowing, and avoid waste.
-
Client-first service: We worked around site constraints without sacrificing quality. We always go the extra mile.
Another Job Done Well
From foundation pours to garden paths and everything in between, we pride ourselves on being the team that doesn’t just turn up, but figures it out. Every project has its quirks — and every successful delivery makes us even better at what we do.
