Delivery to Streatham: 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. Streatham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Streatham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Before you order sand

Building sand colour changes the mortar colour. For matching existing joints, a sample is worth it.

Covering bulk bags

Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
