How delivery works in Newton Aycliffe

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DL5 are priced to the exact address.

Do you deliver ballast in bags?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Newton Aycliffe?

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.

Can I add other materials to my Newton Aycliffe delivery?
