How delivery works in Lancaster

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Lancaster 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.
• With roughly 7h 22m of daylight in Lancaster around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
