Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
