Delivery to Dyfed: 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. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Dyfed.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
