Getting sand onto your Kirkintilloch site

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Kirkintilloch is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around G66 are priced to the exact address.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
