Delivery to Darton: 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. Darton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Darton, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
