How delivery works in Deeside

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

• In summer Deeside gets around 16h 58m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• On busy streets in Deeside, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
