How delivery works in Wigston

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

• On busy streets in Wigston, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Ballast & Gravel: choosing well

Decorative areas

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

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.
