Before your Crewe delivery arrives

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

• With roughly 7h 33m of daylight in Crewe 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.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
