How delivery works in Bloxwich
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Bloxwich is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WS3 are priced to the exact address.

Ordering ballast and gravel for Bloxwich: FAQs
Do you deliver ballast in bags?
Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.
Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Bloxwich?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
How much gravel do I need for a path?
Multiply the area by the depth (often 40 to 50 mm for decorative gravel) to get cubic metres, then allow about 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
