How delivery works in Bognor Regis

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Bognor Regis is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
