How delivery works in Omagh
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- In summer Omagh gets around 17h 17m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
