Delivering sand in Whitchurch

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• In summer Whitchurch gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Whitchurch around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
