Planning the drop in Stevenage

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SG1 are priced to the exact address.

Picking the right product

Lay decorative gravel over a weed membrane and a firm base so it does not sink.

Gravel size

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