Avoid assuming the lorry can reach the door
For an Old Town property, show the access route and proposed container position. Ask the supplier to assess the site rather than expecting it to lift over a wall or work from an unsuitable stopping point.
Check the load from structural or garden work
Broken masonry, earth and old paving should be quantified separately from timber and light fittings. The operator needs those details to assess weight and accepted materials.
