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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Dover, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
