How delivery works in Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• On busy streets in Northamptonshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Picking the right product

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.

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.

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.

Concrete & Aircrete Blocks questions

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 Northamptonshire?

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.

What is the difference between 3.6 and 7.3 N/mm² blocks?

The number is the compressive strength. 7.3 N/mm² blocks carry more load and are often specified below ground or for heavily loaded walls; 3.6 N/mm² is common for upper storeys and partitions. Follow your drawings.

How soon can concrete blocks be delivered in Northamptonshire?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
