Getting ballast and gravel onto your Antrim site

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• With roughly 7h 13m of daylight in Antrim around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
