How delivery works in Brynmawr
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Brynmawr is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
