Ballast 20mm Bulk Bag

Ballast 20mm Bulk Bag

20mm Ballast, also known as All-in Ballast, is a balanced 50/50 blend of sharp sand and 20mm down crushed aggregate. This combination makes it ideal for producing strong, reliable concrete, especially for structural and foundation-based applications. Supplied in a bulk bag, it offers a practical solution for larger projects where a consistent, high-quality mix is required. Designed for larger concrete projects, this bulk ballast works well within wider building sand and ballast requirements, making it a useful choice for customers sourcing from sand and ballast suppliers. Commonly used for footings, base layers, driveways, paths, and fence post installation, this ballast provides strength and durability across a wide range of construction tasks. As it is sourced from natural materials, colour and texture may vary slightly between batches, though its performance remains consistently dependable.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
