How delivery works in Peterborough

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• With roughly 7h 38m of daylight in Peterborough around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
