Delivery to Pudsey: what helps

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Pudsey, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
