How delivery works in Dunbartonshire

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

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

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

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