Delivery to Neath: what helps

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

  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • In summer Neath gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
