Planning the drop in Horley

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Horley, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
