Before your Redhill delivery arrives

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Redhill 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.
• With roughly 7h 52m of daylight in Redhill around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Redhill gets around 16h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Getting the right ballast and gravel

Gravel size

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

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.
