How delivery works in Blackheath

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Blackheath is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Blackheath, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

A base 4 × 3 m and 100 mm deep is 1.2 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 2.75 tonnes of all-in ballast and 19 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator
