Not all construction sites are created equal – and when access is limited, getting concrete to where it needs to be can be a serious challenge. Whether it’s a narrow alleyway, a rear garden with no vehicle access, or a basement below street level, these aren’t jobs you can tackle with wheelbarrows alone.
At McHugh Concrete, we specialise in tight access concrete delivery, using powerful, efficient pumping systems to make even the most awkward sites easy to work with. Our goal? Fast, clean, and accurate concrete delivery – wherever you need it.
Why tight access sites need a specialist approach
Sites with limited access are more common than you think, especially in busy areas like London, Brighton and across the South East. Standard delivery trucks often can’t get close enough and wheelbarrowing concrete over long distances leads to delays, mess, and unnecessary labour costs.
That’s why we use concrete pumps to deliver your mix exactly where it needs to go – with no stress and no waste.
Our equipment: built for hard-to-reach projects
From standard tight access sites to extremely difficult locations, we’re equipped for the job. Here’s how:
Line pumps
Perfect for running hoses over long distances, around corners, or through buildings. Ideal for domestic jobs and rear extensions where direct truck access isn’t possible.
Boom pumps
Hydraulic arms lift and place concrete over high walls or into upper levels with total precision. Great for commercial jobs or multi-storey sites.
Specialised setup for complex sites
On really challenging sites – such as:
- Basements with no street-level access
- Back gardens blocked by fences or neighbouring properties
- Sites in cul-de-sacs or narrow streets
- Terraced Houses with no access to back gardens
- Concrete needed 40+ metres away from the nearest road
We can run extended hose lines from the pump directly to your pour location, pumping distances in excess of 150m.
How we ensure a smooth pour – even in tricky locations
Site evaluation
We assess the access, layout and pour needs to plan the safest and most effective setup. Photos or a quick video of the pump route will often suffice, however if needed we can carry out a site visit.
Tailored equipment
We select the right pump and hose configuration for your site – whether it’s a tight alley or a multi-level structure.
Experienced team
Our professional crew manages the pump operation from start to finish, ensuring an accurate, steady pour.
Clean and tidy
After the job is done, we take care of the clean-up, leaving your site exactly as we found it.
