Building supplies?

[JustGav]

Anybody know any cheap places to get building ballast, preferabbly with delivery...

Just been quote £36.50/bag + £10 delivery, which isn't bad to be fair, just trying to work out if I can get it cheaper elsewhere, need around 2 bags..

And no I don't want to go find a building site somewhere, even though I do have one opposite the road..

Thanks

Stones and crap, throw it in with the cement and sand to make concrete..... Need it for a floor and foundation...

Erm, not a clue really...

I'm a bit clueless when it all comes to this, hence I've got my mate telling me what I need and what to get. Busy building a mini-workshop in the garden. I will ask him when he comes round later today, I'd make some assumption that it would be a latex/rubber based paint, perhaps ask JamieP as well.
