Getting ballast and gravel onto your Rushden site

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
