Choosing concrete blocks

Thickness

100 mm is the common inner-leaf thickness. Wider blocks (140, 190, 215 mm) are used for separating walls, single-skin garage walls and foundations.

Handling heavy blocks

Health and safety guidance discourages laying very heavy blocks by hand for long periods. Lighter blocks or planning the lift can make a big difference on site.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

How delivery works in Aylesbury

Blocks are banded on pallets and usually crane-offloaded where the vehicle and access allow; tell us the weight limit of any drive or the ground where pallets will sit. Aylesbury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Aylesbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Aylesbury gets around 16h 42m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Concrete & Aircrete Blocks questions

Can I use blocks in the foundations?

Yes, using blocks made for below ground, often trench blocks or dense blocks of the specified strength. Building control will check foundation design.

Can you deliver concrete blocks to a site with restricted access in Aylesbury?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do you deliver concrete blocks to trades and homeowners in Aylesbury?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How many blocks on a pallet?

It varies with the block size and maker. We confirm the pallet quantity with your price.
