How delivery works in Salisbury

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Salisbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
