How delivery works in Colwyn Bay

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

• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Colwyn Bay around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Picking the right product

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.

Gravel size

20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.

Questions about ballast and gravel delivery in Colwyn Bay

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.

What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?

Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.

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 soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Colwyn Bay?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
