Delivery to Lossiemouth: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Lossiemouth is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• 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.
• With roughly 6h 32m of daylight in Lossiemouth around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

How much MOT Type 1 do I need?
