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

  • In summer Windsor gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
