Getting ballast and gravel onto your Bradford site

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Bradford gets around 17h 06m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Ballast or separate sand and gravel?
