Planning the drop in Witham

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CM8 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Witham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Ballast & Gravel questions

How soon can ballast and gravel be delivered in Witham?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

How much gravel do I need for a path?

Multiply the area by the depth (often 40 to 50 mm for decorative gravel) to get cubic metres, then allow about 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.

What gravel do I bed drainage pipes in?

Pea gravel or a similar clean single-size gravel is commonly used around underground pipes.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Witham?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
