Delivering ballast and gravel in Flint

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Questions about ballast and gravel delivery in Flint

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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