Planning the drop in Newmarket
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Newmarket is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Newmarket, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Picking the right product
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.

Yes. We deliver across Newmarket, including CB8. Newmarket is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
How deep should a driveway sub-base be?
Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.

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.
