Picking the right product

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.

Gravel size

20 mm gravel suits concrete and drainage layers; 10 mm and pea gravel suit bedding pipes and paths.

Sizing your order

A base 3 × 1.8 m and 100 mm deep is 0.54 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 1.24 tonnes of all-in ballast and 9 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator

Planning the drop in Peterlee

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Ballast & Gravel in Peterlee: questions

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

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Peterlee?

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.

What is all-in ballast?
