Planning the drop in Horsham

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

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • 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.
