Delivering ballast and gravel in March

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
