Before your Hailsham 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. Hailsham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Hailsham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
