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

• With roughly 7h 29m of daylight in Sheffield around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Sheffield gets around 17h 01m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Picking the right product

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.

Gravel size

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