How delivery works in Bushey

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Bushey is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Getting the right MOT Type 1

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
