Before your Dunoon 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. Dunoon is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• With roughly 6h 57m of daylight in Dunoon around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
