Delivering ballast and gravel in Stretford

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
