How delivery works in New Milton

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. New Milton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BH25 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Concrete & Aircrete Blocks: choosing well

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.

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.
