Please make sure all dog mess, garden items such as garden toys, swings, slides, patio furniture, rubbish etc. are removed from the area where the castle is to be sited.
At busy times, we are unable to wait for the area to be cleared as we will have other deliveries. Therefore, so not to disappoint other customers, we may have to return at the end of the deliveries to set up your castle.
17. Can you deliver with no side entrance and take castle though the house?
Most of our items can fit through standard doors so this shouldn’t be a problem, however some of our inflatables are huge and will require a proper entrance so please advise us of your access type at the time of booking to avoid disappointment on the day.
