• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Risca, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
