Loose Load deliveries are almost always possible as long as there are no site restrictions or space issues.
It is usually only possible to hold one material at a time on the tip load truck, in some occasions loads can facilitate two materials, please contact us before if you have any specific requirements and we will be happy to offer a solution.
If you have special wishes for delivery sites at your address please make a note about this when completing your order, and make a mark of the drop location at the property. Please be aware that the truck driver decides the best place for the load if your delivery wish can not be fulfilled. Examples of problems are narrow driveways or driveways built without ballast for heavy loads. If you want the load spread down a long alley, this can be arranged with the driver in some cases.
Bulk Bag delivery
Select delivery in Bulk Bag when you order. If your need of Sand, Stone or Gravel are small amounts ranging from 1 to 5 tons, you should order your products in Bulk bags or contact us for a HIAB loose delivery with Grab truck.
A Bulk bag consists of approx 850kg of material. They are delivered to your curb or driveway if it is a solid surface, or on your property if your property is suitable for handling trucks with heavy loads. If you specifically require a HIAB delivery then we suggest you send us a mail to info@gravelbase.co.uk prior to ordering as the system is set up with a pallet network delivery with pump truck.
The Sand, Stone or Gravel Bulk Bag will be placed according to your delivery wish, if the truck diver finds it possible, otherwise the driver will place the Bulk Bag in the best suitable location. Please note that the driver has the absolute last say in this matter.
