Delivery to Crowborough: what helps
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Crowborough 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.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
