Our head office and our own yard are in Rochdale. Local responsiveness, with the crews and plant to deliver concrete works UK-wide.
Most of our work happens within an hour's drive of the yard. For jobs in the OL, BL and M postcodes we aim to survey within five working days, and urgent issues within forty-eight hours.
Our Rochdale work is mostly for established industrial businesses: manufacturing sites along the Roch Valley, logistics depots near Kingsway Business Park, and recycling facilities and builders merchants across Heywood and Middleton.
After four decades working across Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton and Oldham, we know the local sub-bases: what old mill foundations look like under a redeveloped site, how clay behaves around the Roch Valley, and where historical industrial use has left voids.

Postcode districts in Rochdale and Oldham (OL) where we've delivered: OL2, OL9, OL11, OL12, OL16.
Our yard on Rugby Road is where our plant, materials and crews start every day. Being on the doorstep means a quicker survey, shorter travel and a team that already knows the local ground.

Feedback from the people who run these sites, shown with the job we did for them.
The fact you have a road sweeper coming on-site to clean up, is very much appreciated and shows attention to detail. Your team always work clean and tidy, and what really stood out is their communication and the fact nothing is too much trouble. The concrete repairs exceeded my expectations and should make the area much safer to work in.
Really happy with the result. Your team were great to have on site and we were trading throughout which was important. Thank you.
Really impressed with your team and how you kept the yard open, the new works look fantastic. Brilliant job.
The guys have been brilliant from start to finish... Thanks again to all the team and really appreciate the work you have done for us. Who knows you may end up at another AVK site in the future...
Thanks so much to the team, great work as always. The yard is already making a difference to how we move around site.
Everything was prepared when we arrived and the school was kept running throughout. Really pleased with how it went and look forward to working with you again

Send your briefFor urgent issues such as failed concrete, a safety risk or a threat of downtime, we can usually get a surveyor on site within forty-eight hours from our Rochdale yard. For planned work, surveys typically happen within five working days of your enquiry.
Yes. We phase every programme into sections so you keep access to parts of the yard at all times, and plan the pours around your day to day operations.
For yards handling HGVs and heavy plant we typically specify a minimum of 200mm reinforced concrete with A252 mesh. The exact specification depends on vehicle weights, ground conditions and how the yard is used, so we survey every site and design the slab to suit.
Typically two to six weeks depending on size and scope. You get a fixed programme before work starts.
Cost depends on scope, ground conditions and access. We survey for free and give you a fixed price before work starts.
Yes. A number of our long-standing clients are Rochdale and Greater Manchester industrial businesses on call-off or framework agreements, covering reactive repairs, planned maintenance and annual improvement programmes. One contractor, over multiple years.
Tell us what's happening on site. We'll review your brief and, if it's a good fit, arrange a free site survey.
