Common questions from Putney

What is all-in ballast?

A mix of sharp sand and gravel up to 20 mm, ready to combine with cement for concrete.

Can I add other materials to my Putney 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.

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

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.
