How delivery works in Whitchurch

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Whitchurch gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
