Delivering ballast and gravel in Hartlepool

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Hartlepool gets around 17h 18m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
