• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

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.

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.
