Delivering ballast and gravel in Spalding

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
