How delivery works in Chadderton

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
