Delivering ballast and gravel in Strabane

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
