Delivery to Glasgow: what helps

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• On busy streets in Glasgow, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Glasgow gets around 17h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Quantities: a worked example

A base 3 × 2.4 m and 150 mm deep is 1.08 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 2.47 tonnes of all-in ballast and 17 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator
