Delivering ballast and gravel in Felling

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
