Delivering ballast and gravel in Bushey

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

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any 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.
