How delivery works in Huntingdon

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

• In summer Huntingdon gets around 16h 48m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PE28 are priced to the exact address.

Getting the right ballast and gravel

Ballast or separate sand and gravel?

All-in ballast is convenient for general concrete. For more control over the mix, use separate sharp sand and gravel.

Gravel size

20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.

Ballast & Gravel questions

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

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

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.

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

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.

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.
