Planning the drop in Bexley

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Bexley, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Bexley around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
