Common questions from Dartford

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Dartford?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Dartford?

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.
