How delivery works in Harrogate

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Harrogate gets around 17h 09m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
