  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around E17 are priced to the exact address.
  • With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Walthamstow around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Choosing ballast and gravel

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.

Gravel size

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