Before your Halewood 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. Halewood 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.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
