Planning the drop in Stamford

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PE9 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Stamford, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Questions about ballast and gravel delivery in Stamford

What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?

Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.

How much gravel do I need for a path?

Multiply the area by the depth (often 40 to 50 mm for decorative gravel) to get cubic metres, then allow about 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.

Do you deliver ballast and gravel to trades and homeowners in Stamford?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Stamford?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
