• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 7h 52m of daylight in Burnham-on-Sea around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
