Delivering concrete blocks in Canary Wharf

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. Canary Wharf is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around E14 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Canary Wharf, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Picking the right product

What strength do I need?

Most houses use 3.6 N/mm² or 7.3 N/mm² blocks. Your structural design, your building control officer or the block manufacturer's guidance sets the grade; tell us what is specified and we will match it.

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.

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 much will you need?

A single-skin block wall in Canary Wharf 10 m long and 2.7 m high is 27 m². At 10 blocks per square metre plus 5% you need 284 blocks, with about 0.39 tonnes of building sand and 4 bags of cement for the mortar at 1:4. Try the block calculator

Concrete & Aircrete Blocks in Canary Wharf: questions

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Canary Wharf delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from concrete blocks to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How many blocks on a pallet?

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

Are aircrete blocks strong enough for an extension?

Many aircrete blocks are designed for loadbearing walls, but grades differ. Check the strength your design calls for and the manufacturer's guidance on use below DPC.
