Planning the drop in Tonypandy

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
