We accept each order on the understanding that your site can be approached by a hard road. Our driver is empowered to refuse delivery if he believes there is a risk of damage. We accept no liability for damage caused to your roads or property or persons or others on site by the vehicle's use or harm to our personnel by reason of defects in the access road or negligence on the part of you or your employees.

3. Water

Extra water affecting strength or workability will be noted on the Delivery Ticket/Invoice, and is added only at the customer’s request and risk.
