Planning the drop in Tonbridge

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

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Picking the right product

Ballast or separate sand and gravel?

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

Decorative areas

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