How delivery works in Totton

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Totton 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.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

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

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