Before your Peckham 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. Peckham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Peckham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
