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. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• With roughly 7h 16m of daylight in Dungannon around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Before you order 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.

Dense or aircrete?

Dense blocks are strong and good for sound separation but heavy; a 100 mm dense block can weigh around 20 kg. Aircrete blocks are much lighter and insulate better, which helps with energy targets, but need the right fixings.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

How much will you need?

A single-skin block wall in Dungannon 10 m long and 2.4 m high is 24 m². At 10 blocks per square metre plus 5% you need 252 blocks, with about 0.35 tonnes of building sand and 4 bags of cement for the mortar at 1:4. Try the block calculator
