Planning the drop in Magherafelt

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.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

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.

Decorative areas

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.

How much will you need?

A base 3.6 × 1.8 m and 100 mm deep is 0.65 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.48 tonnes of all-in ballast and 11 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Common questions from Magherafelt

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Magherafelt?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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

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

What is all-in ballast?
