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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around ML1 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Ordering ballast and gravel for Motherwell: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Motherwell delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from ballast and gravel to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

Yes, bulk bags for most jobs and small bags for small quantities or tight access.

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

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

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.
