Planning the drop in Rochester

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

• 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.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
