Describe the materials precisely
Identify the material, packaging and weight per pack or pallet. Long lengths, stone, tiles and awkward shapes need accurate dimensions and a secure load.
Tell us about breakable edges, moisture sensitivity or any requirement to keep goods flat. Materials must be suitable and prepared for the agreed vehicle and handling.
Plan building material delivery at your Blockley address
For a Blockley pallet or crate, describe the receiving surface, gradient and space behind the proposed vehicle position. Tail lifts and pallet trucks need a suitable working area; ask for assessment when the final approach is stepped or sloped.
Measure the goods as they will travel, including the base and wrapping. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space available at both addresses.
- For building material delivery, prepare: pack quantity and weight; site vehicle access; unloading equipment.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Check the receiving site
Describe narrow entrances, unfinished ground and whether the unloading area is firm and level. Explain if a forklift or other equipment is available.
Do not assume delivery includes lifting over fences, crane offload or moving materials through a property. Request the exact handover you need.
