Delivery to Holyhead: 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. Holyhead is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Holyhead around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Quantities: a worked example

A base 2.4 × 2.4 m and 150 mm deep is 0.86 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.98 tonnes of all-in ballast and 14 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Ballast & Gravel in Holyhead: questions

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.

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

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

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

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.
