Concrete pumping across Bradford
Bradford is knocking down two shopping centres to make room for homes. Demolition of the Oastler and Kirkgate centres is clearing the way for City Village, a council and ECF scheme of up to 1,000 homes in the Top of Town, with a first phase of 97 townhouses. Roberts Concrete Pumping provides concrete pump hire in Bradford for jobs of every size, from city centre plots like these down to a single garden slab in Great Horton.
We run over from our Northwich base on the M62 and come into the city on the M606 from Chain Bar, which puts us onto the Outer Ring Road for anywhere from Bowling to Thornton. It's further than our Cheshire work, so every Bradford pour is planned around the drive and the concrete delivery times.
There's a lot of city to cover. The 2021 Census counted 546,400 people in Bradford District, the fifth largest local authority population in England, and the council is preparing a new District Local Plan to replace its 2017 Core Strategy. South of the centre, the Southern Gateway masterplan covers around 300 acres with room for up to 5,000 homes.

Pumps, Screed and Finishing for Bradford Sites
Concrete Boom Pump Hire
A concrete boom pump sets up in one spot and swings concrete over buildings, hoardings and scaffold on a hydraulic arm. It's the right tool for tight city centre plots where the wagon can only stand on the street, and for bigger pours where several loads have to go in back to back. We agree the boom size and the standing position with you before anything's booked.

Concrete Line Pump Hire
Our concrete line pumps carry concrete through steel pipeline, clipped together length by length, with rubber hose where the route gets fiddly. Bradford still has streets of sandstone back-to-backs and through terraces in places like Manningham and Great Horton, and that's exactly where a line pump gets concrete to a rear extension or yard the wagon can't reach. An operator comes with every hire.

Liquid Screed Supply and Installation
We pump liquid screed that spreads and levels itself, setting into a flat floor ready for whatever goes on top. It works well over underfloor heating in new builds and in the kitchen extensions going onto older Bradford homes. Before pour day we check the floor is ready, so nothing gets held up.

Power Floating
Power floating trowels a fresh slab into a dense, smooth surface using ride-on or walk-behind machines sized to the job. Bradford's industrial estates and the warehouse units along the Canal Road corridor need floors that stand up to forklifts and racking. Pair it with the pump and it's one coordinated job.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete Driveways
Our pattern imprinted concrete driveways are poured, coloured, imprinted and sealed in place to look like stone, slate or setts. They suit the semis in Heaton, Allerton and Wibsey, where tired tarmac and sunken paving are common. We'll measure up and talk through the options before you decide.

You send us the details
A phone call or a few WhatsApp photos is usually enough. We want to see where the wagon can park, where the concrete's going and what's between the two.
We check it actually works
That means measuring the run from pump to pour, the width of passages and gates, and any steps, walls or overhead cables in the way.
We tell you the honest answer
If a concrete line pump will do, you won't pay for a boom. If it won't, we'll say so before the day, not on it.
We turn up with an operator
Every pump comes with someone who runs it day in, day out, and if you want screed or power floating as well, it's the same team.
