How delivery works in Bootle

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

• 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.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
