How delivery works in Chesterfield

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
