Planning the drop in Fareham

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
