Getting the right ballast and gravel

All-in ballast is convenient for general concrete. For more control over the mix, use separate sharp sand and gravel.

Before your Stockton-on-Tees delivery arrives

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

• On busy streets in Stockton-on-Tees, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
