• If we’re unable to carry out the delivery as intended due to site restrictions, wasted journey fees will apply.
• For any orders that are returned (unless deemed faulty), the customer is liable for the return shipping fees determined by the Mick George Group.
• If your order is cancelled after booking, then a £15 (Inc. VAT) cancellation fee will apply.
• Delivery dates provided are NOT guaranteed and whilst we make every effort to deliver the services/products within the estimated timescales, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors. The Mick George Group and our suppliers are not liable for any delay or failure to deliver the products on the delivery date provided.

If your delivery postcode falls outside of those listed on the below map, then delivery will still likely be completed via a Hi Ab vehicle (as above) but could possibly be fulfilled using a manually operated pallet truck, moving the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside / roadside or onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac drive (not gravel or grass sorry).

• Hiab vehicles are approximately 9.2 metres (30ft) long, 2.5 metres (8.2ft) wide, 2.6 metres (12ft) high.
• Please allow 2 metres clearance on each side of the vehicle to enable safe operation.
• Any failed deliveries due to site restrictions will result in a wasted journey charge of up to £60.
• The arm on this vehicle can reach between 6-8m.
• The crane cannot operate in close proximity to overhead obstructions such as cables or tree branches and cannot be used to lift pallets over parked vehicles. It is imperative that the unloading area is free from obstructions such as overhanding trees and cables.
• The Hiab vehicle will require the same access as a large bin lorry.

What is Ballast?

Ballast is a dense mixture of gravel and sand which forms a rough, coarse aggregate used in an extensive range of construction applications. Primarily, this aggregate is used in heavy-duty work and for practical uses such as making concrete.

Where is Ballast Used?

When Ballast is added to cement, it binds the aggregate particles together, forming strong foundations or base layers for garden walls or sheds, as well as for creating path edgings and kerb ledges. Ballast can also be used to safely secure fencing posts in place.

Cheap Ballast Prices

Several factors can effect the price of Ballast but the main reason the Mick George Group can provide cheap Ballast is because we produce it from our own quarries and distribute it through our own fleet.

Other factors influencing the price of Ballast can be delivery method, location and volume.
