Planning the drop in Rickmansworth

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Rickmansworth gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
