Restricted access is normal for line pump work
If you're looking at the site and wondering how the concrete will get there, that's exactly when a line pump comes into play. Rear gardens, side access only, fencing, steps, tight turns or neighbouring buildings are everyday setups for us.
A quick call or WhatsApp is usually enough to confirm whether it's suitable.
What concrete line pump hire is used for

The focus is getting concrete where it needs to go without disruption to the site.
