Paving replacement and access protection in Prestonpans
East Lothian maps Prestonpans alongside Cockenzie and Port Seton in its development plan. This guide is for the Prestonpans delivery address; each property's surface and approach still need assessment.
If old paving is being lifted, include the bedding and any ground to be excavated, not only the visible slabs. Tell the operator whether the material will be clean and separated or mixed with other waste. Agree the permitted weight before the contractor starts loading dense material.
Keep the new surface out of the loading plan
Plan when the skip will leave relative to laying replacement paving. Ask the contractor and operator whether the proposed standing surface is suitable, particularly where the drive is being renewed. Do not assume protective boards alone make a newly laid or weak surface suitable for a loaded skip.
Choose by waste, space and weight

Use these approximate dimensions as a starting point. Container shapes vary; confirm the supplied skip and vehicle clearance before booking.
That depends on the work sequence and a safe standing and collection position. Discuss it before booking. If the surface beneath or around the container will change, the operator needs to know how the loaded skip will be reached and lifted.
