Getting ballast and gravel onto your Sevenoaks site

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• In summer Sevenoaks gets around 16h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
