Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Newton Abbot is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
