All-in ballast is convenient for general concrete. For more control over the mix, use separate sharp sand and gravel.

Delivery to Bristol: what helps

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• On busy streets in Bristol, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
