How delivery works in Halesowen
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Halesowen is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
