How delivery works in Llanelli

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• In summer Llanelli gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
