Delivering ballast and gravel in Cleethorpes

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Before you order ballast and gravel

Ballast or separate sand and gravel?

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

Decorative areas

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.
