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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• With roughly 6h 45m of daylight in Fort William around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
