Getting ballast and gravel onto your Felixstowe site

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

• With roughly 7h 45m of daylight in Felixstowe around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• On busy streets in Felixstowe, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Common questions from Felixstowe

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Felixstowe?

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.

Do you deliver ballast and gravel to trades and homeowners in Felixstowe?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.
