What is Dry Lean Concrete?
Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) is a low-cement, low-water concrete mix used primarily as a solid base layer beneath roads, pavements, and industrial floors. Unlike structural concrete, DLC isn’t reinforced, but it’s incredibly reliable for creating a level, long-lasting foundation that helps support heavier layers above.

At KCS, we supply high-quality Dry Lean Concrete mixes tailored to your project’s specific requirements. Whether you’re laying a base for a new car park, an access road, or a warehouse floor, DLC offers excellent strength, stability, and cost-efficiency – and it’s quick and easy to lay.

Tough, Dependable Groundworks
Dry Lean Concrete is ideal for construction projects where a firm sub-base is essential. It reduces settlement, improves load distribution, and helps extend the lifespan of the finished surface. We work closely with contractors, builders, and homeowners to deliver the right mix every time – in the right quantity, with no waste.

Thanks to our volumetric delivery service, you only ever pay for what you use. Not sure how much you’ll need? Try our online concrete calculator or speak to one of our friendly experts for advice. From large-scale infrastructure to small private works, we’re here to help your project get off to a solid start.

While Dry Lean Concrete (DLC) is a simple, low-cement mix, we sometimes add special ingredients to improve its performance, depending on your project needs:

Fly Ash – Helps make the mix smoother and more durable, especially in large pours.

Slag (GGBS) – Boosts strength and reduces moisture penetration.

Plasticisers – Improve flow and make the mix easier to compact.

Retarders – Slow down setting time, giving more flexibility during installation.

Accelerators – Speed up hardening when time is tight or it’s cold outside.

These additives help us tailor the mix for your exact site conditions, giving you a solid, reliable base that’s built to last.
