Concrete pumping across Manchester
We're based in Northwich and reach the city on the M56 and M60, with the A56 Chester Road, A6 Wilmslow Road and the A57(M) Mancunian Way running through the centre. Manchester has a population of around 550,000 and one of the highest urban densities in the UK, and where access is the problem a pump is usually the answer.
The city is mid building boom. Manchester City Council is reviewing its Local Plan, lifting the draft affordable housing target from 20% to 30%, and over 880 affordable homes are due to start on site or go to consultation in the coming year. The This City pipeline will deliver 650 homes at Monsall in Harpurhey, the Reno Site in Moss Side adds 212, and Gorton has a £60m revamp with 400 new homes. Around 43% of housing across the city is Victorian or Edwardian terrace, much of it behind alleyways and rear yards where a wagon won't reach the pour point.

Concrete Pumping Services for Manchester
Concrete Line Pump Hire
Our concrete line pumps work by installing steel pipeline on site, clipped together to carry concrete from the pump to exactly where it's needed, with rubber hose used where the run demands it. Whether the job is a basement floor in Didsbury, a foundation behind a Victorian terrace in Levenshulme, or a slab pour in a cleared yard in Ancoats, the line pump solves the access problem without holding up the rest of the site. Every hire comes with an experienced operator.

Concrete Boom Pump Hire
For larger pours and jobs where concrete needs placing over height or distance, our concrete boom pumps use a hydraulic arm to reach over scaffolding, fences and outbuildings. They suit the city centre apartment infill market and the multi-plot residential builds going up in wards like Harpurhey, Wythenshawe and Ardwick. We'll talk through pump size, positioning and timing before booking.

Liquid Screed Supply & Installation
Our liquid screed service pumps a free-flowing floor screed that settles to a smooth, level finish. It suits projects with underfloor heating, now close to standard on new-build apartments and large extensions across the city. We run a pre-pour floor readiness check before we start, so there are no surprises on the day.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete Driveways
Our pattern imprinted concrete driveways give a stone, slate or cobble finish without the upkeep of block paving. We pour fresh concrete, apply the pattern and colour on site, then seal the surface. Manchester sees around 830mm of rainfall a year, and a properly sealed concrete drive holds up far better through a wet winter than loose paving on a sloped approach.

Power Floating
After a concrete pour, power floating closes and smooths the surface to a hard, durable finish. We use ride-on or walk-behind machines depending on slab size. Pairing the pump and the float into one visit tightens the programme on a busy city site.

Tight Access is What We Do
Manchester's housing stock is built around terraces, alleyways and rear yards, and the new-build pipeline is mostly brownfield infill. We specialise in jobs where a wagon can't get close, from rear-garden extensions in Chorlton to basement pours behind period homes in West Didsbury and Withington. We check access on every job before booking, so nothing gets wasted on pour day.
Honest Advice Before You Book
Send us photos of the site on WhatsApp and we'll tell you straight which pump fits. If a line pump works but a boom suits your timeline better, we'll say so. Manchester's mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates and modern apartments means the right kit really does vary site to site.
Full Service, One Team
Unlike firms that only hire pumps, we also handle liquid screed, power floating and pattern imprinted driveways. Fewer contractors to coordinate, fewer scheduling clashes, and one team that knows the site from setup to finish.
Operator on Every Job
Every concrete pump hire comes with an experienced operator who runs the pour from setup to finish. No equipment-only hire, no guesswork on site.
