• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• On busy streets in Aldridge, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
