Delivering ballast and gravel in Lisnaskea

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
