Holcim London Capabilities

Navigating the complexities of construction in London requires a partner with deep expertise and a robust infrastructure. Holcim UK offers industry-leading solutions tailored to the unique demands of the capital, ensuring reliable material supply, technical excellence, and sustainable innovation across projects of all sizes.

Comprehensive Logistics Network

Our extensive logistics framework ensures efficient, consistent, and timely delivery of materials across London. By leveraging sustainable transport solutions, including rail and sea freight, we reduce road miles and minimise our environmental impact while maintaining a reliable supply chain.

Technical Excellence & Material Supply

With an unrivalled network of aggregates terminals and state-of-the-art concrete plants across London, we supply construction projects of all sizes with high-quality materials.

Every year, we import over 7 million tonnes of aggregates into London and the Home Counties via rail and sea from our superquarries at Torr, Bardon Hill, and Glensanda. These materials are processed at our Isle of Grain terminal and distributed sustainably to construction sites across the city.

Supplying Projects from Small Builds to Landmark Developments

Holcim UK provides tailored concrete solutions for a diverse range of projects, from small-scale home improvements to major infrastructure:

• Small & Domestic Projects – We supply ready-mix concrete for home extensions, driveways, patios, and basement conversions, with minimix trucks ensuring access to tight urban sites.
• Commercial & Mixed-Use Developments – Our high-quality concrete solutions support commercial builds, office developments, and mixed-use projects, delivering reliable strength and durability.
• Large-Scale & Infrastructure Projects – Our logistics and technical expertise enable us to supply high-performance, sustainable materials for high-rise buildings, transport networks, and urban regeneration projects.

Sustainability & Circular Innovation

As part of the Holcim Group, we are leading the way in decarbonising construction. Our ECOPact range offers low-carbon concrete solutions, reducing embodied carbon in buildings and infrastructure.

We are also investing in circularity, transforming London’s built environment into a circular urban mine by:

• Reintegrating recycled demolition materials (CDM) into new concrete, closing the material loop.
• Developing ECOCycle technology, allowing cement and concrete recycling at scale.
• Capturing and permanently storing CO₂ in recycled aggregates through our Neustark partnership.
• Introducing innovative materials like Airium, a mineral foam concrete for lightweight void fill and insulation, reducing material consumption.
