Kiln Repair Works

Due to unforeseen circumstances, it has become necessary to carry out repair works to the kiln.

The work will require the use of the Brokk (demolition robot) to remove bricks from the kiln.

Wrecking of the kiln bricks is scheduled to take place between Monday 22nd July - Friday 26th July. The hours of wrecking will be between 7am and 10pm.

Should there be any significant change to this plan we will update you further.

If you have any concerns, please contact the Shift Manager on 07713 685676, or for non-urgent queries please contact padeswoodcement@uk.heidelbergmaterials.com.

Our Padeswood works opened in 1949 to supply cement to help rebuild post-war Britain. It is one of three cement plants owned by Hanson in the UK and produces both bulk and packed products. The site is also involved in an industry-leading carbon reduction project through our involvement in the HyNet North West project.

Hanson’s nearby Cefn Mawr quarry provides the limestone needed for cement manufacture at Padeswood and has also been included in our parent company Heidelberg Materials' Quarry Life Awards, aimed at supporting and increasing biodiversity at our sites. 

As well as employing more than 110 people at the plant, we also support many more in our supply chain of contractors and support staff.
