How delivery works in Milton Keynes

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around MK6 are priced to the exact address.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
