Before your Wisbech delivery arrives

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

How much will you need?

A base 3.6 × 3 m and 150 mm deep is 1.62 m³ of concrete. At 1:5 with 5% extra that is about 3.71 tonnes of all-in ballast and 26 bags of cement. Try the concrete calculator
