Getting ballast and gravel onto your Romford site

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Romford 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.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around RM1 are priced to the exact address.
