Planning the drop in Lowestoft

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• In summer Lowestoft gets around 16h 50m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
