How delivery works in Royal Tunbridge Wells

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
