How delivery works in Caerphilly
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Caerphilly is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Caerphilly around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
