How delivery works in Peebles

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Things to check before you order

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.

Quantities: a worked example

A base 3 × 1.8 m and 150 mm deep is 0.81 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.86 tonnes of all-in ballast and 13 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Ballast & Gravel in Peebles: questions

Can you deliver ballast and gravel to a site with restricted access in Peebles?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Peebles 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.
