Felixstowe, Suffolk · incorporated 30th August 2026
Two trades, one gate, one set of keys
DANMAREVM LTD is registered for two kinds of work from one base in Felixstowe: carrying goods by road, and specialised construction work on other people's sites. This page keeps them on separate shelves the whole way down — where one has to come forward, a tab brings it, and the other stays named behind it.
SIC 49410 — freight transport by road
Goods moved for somebody else, under a consignment note, to a time somebody else set.
SIC 43999 — other specialised construction
Work done on a site that is not ours, under that site's permit and induction.
The shape of a working day
Neither trade sets its own clock. On the road the drivers' hours rules cut the day; on site the permit does. Both are drawn here to the same twelve-hour width so they can be read against each other.
A day cut by the permit
Gate, tipping window, noise hoursWhat goes out of the gate
Two kinds of outbound work leave by the same gate, so a booking has to say which one it is before anything else.
Road haulage
Booked by class, not by vehiclePalletised
Standard and Euro pallets, wrapped by the sender, counted on against the delivery note and off against a signature.
Loose and boxed
Crates, drums and framed panels that will not sit on a pallet. Handball is agreed at booking, never at the kerb.
Plant and site kit
Small plant, formwork, bagged aggregate and pipe, strapped or chocked to a securing plan written before the ramps come down.
Site works
Priced to a drawing and a methodHardstanding and yard surfaces
Formation, sub-base, edge restraint and falls set to a drawing, so water leaves the slab where the drawing says.
Cutting and breaking
Saw cuts, chases and openings in existing concrete, dust and slurry controlled at the blade, not swept up after.
Drainage and service trenches
Trench, bed, lay, surround, reinstate — dug to a permit once services are traced and marked on the surface.

Why the two are run apart
A load sheet is not a permit to work, and no permit to work will move a pallet.
The hours on a lorry follow the driver. They are counted whoever the load belongs to, they do not pause at anybody's gate, and a day spent waiting is still a day spent.
The hours on a site follow the site. They are set by its permit and its planning conditions, and they apply to a crew that arrived in its own vehicle exactly as they apply to one that arrived in ours.
Checks before the keys turn
Two sums get done in the yard: whether the driver has the hours, and whether the vehicle has the payload.

What is kept, what is hired in
Some of it stands in the yard; the rest arrives with somebody else's inspection record.
Rigid
Where the address decides the vehicle: narrow approaches, timed streets, no room to turn an artic.
- Decided by
- Access, not tonnage
Artic and drawbar
Where the pallet count decides the vehicle and the receiving end has a dock to take it.
- Decided by
- Pallet count and headroom
Hired-in plant
Excavators, breakers, saws and pumps arrive on hire with the hirer's inspection record, read before the machine starts.
- Checked on arrival
- Record, guards, hoses
Materials staging
Aggregate, pipe, bedding and reinforcement are staged so a site gets one delivery in its window, not four in its way.
- Staged against
- The site's tipping window
Booking a load, asking about site work
One address takes both, so the subject line does the sorting.
For a load
- 1Both postcodesCollection and delivery, and the window each end has.
- 2What it isHow many pallets or pieces, and the weight if it is known.
- 3What is at each endA dock, a forklift, or neither.
Write to loads@danmarevm.online with those three and a date.
Subject: LOAD — IP11 to NR30, 8 pallets
For site works
- 1Site and drawingThe site postcode, and the drawing if a drawing exists.
- 2Who holds the dutiesWho is principal contractor on that site.
- 3When it can take a crewThe dates the site can receive people and a delivery.
Same address, and say in the first line that it is site works rather than a load.
