Before your Northolt delivery arrives

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

• On busy streets in Northolt, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
