How delivery works in Musselburgh

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around EH21 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
