Delivering concrete blocks in Dunbartonshire

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. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Dunbartonshire.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Dunbartonshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Picking the right product

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.

What strength do I need?

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

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Concrete & Aircrete Blocks questions

How much mortar for blockwork?

Roughly 0.008 to 0.01 cubic metres of mortar per square metre of 100 mm blockwork, allowing for waste. Use our block calculator for sand and cement quantities.

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

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Dunbartonshire?

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.
