How delivery works in South Ockendon

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

  • On busy streets in South Ockendon, 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.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

Virgin or recycled?

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

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.
