Delivery area
Bulk topsoil delivered across Gateshead
Gateshead covers steep town streets, suburbs like Low Fell and Whickham, the villages of the Derwent valley and busy trading estates. We quote each delivery for the site it’s going to.
- Five tonnes minimum
- Loose or bulk bags
Hills, slopes and where to tip
A lot of Gateshead is built on slopes. A tipper needs fairly level ground to tip safely, so if your drive or plot falls away, mention it and suggest the flattest spot. On steep or tight sites, bulk bags can be easier to place.
Further west, around Ryton, Rowlands Gill and Chopwell, sites can be up narrow lanes or farm tracks. Let us know about weight limits, sharp bends or soft verges.
