Planning the drop in Penarth

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
