Delivery Timescales
We only offer products which we hold in stock for online purchases.
This means we can offer a prompt delivery service within 5 working days of placing your order with us.
Upon receipt of your completed order we will advise you of your delivery day and date. If this is not convenient please contact us immediately by calling 01903 243202 to book an alternative day.
If through unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to meet our 5 working day time scale we will inform you immediately with confirmation of when we can deliver your order.
Delivery conditions
We work to very high safety standards, giving you the reassurance that all our deliveries will be carried out safely. However, this may restrict our ability to deliver your materials if we deem the delivery location to be unsafe, for example, if there are overhead power cables present.
As well as offering free delivery within our trading area using our fleet of vehicles (see below to check if you qualify for free delivery). We can also offer a National Kerbside Delivery service via third party couriers. A kerbside means the courier will deliver it on to the road outside your house via tail lift and pallet truck but will not bring the product on to your property (see below to ensure you are able to accommodate the delivery). The final decision on delivery will be down to the courier.
Delivery is charged per item.
All deliveries are subject to availability. You will be contacted with a delivery date and more information soon after placing your order.
Pallet Delivery
Delivery by pallet requires that the delivery address is flat, accessible for an 18-tonne vehicle and has no height, weight or width restrictions. The ground area for delivery needs to be typically concrete or tarmac, a pallet truck is not able to manoeuvre across shingle, grass or mud. Delivery will be made to the kerbside and the driver is not required to place the pallet anywhere other than here, at his discretion he may place the loaded pallet off the road if they deem it safe to do so, this is however entirely at the risk of the customer and the discretion of the driver. Please ensure that there is enough room for the delivery and if you are not at home when the delivery is made, clear instructions as to where you require the loaded pallet to be left. Pallets are left on site with the delivery and are the customers responsibility, please recycle these in the best manner you can. In the event that the Company or subcontracted haulier is unable to gain access due to the delivery point access being denied by blockages, obstructions, weight, height and width limitations at the delivery point, then the Company reserves the right to charge additional costs for the return and re attempted delivery of the products.
Delivery
The Company will make all efforts possible to deliver the products and goods on the agreed date in a timely fashion, however if for any reason the Company is unable to meet the date, no liability for time, consequential or any other cost either in part or whole will be accepted by the Company. The customer will be at all times responsible for the security and insurance of their purchase and will comply with Health and Safety Legislation. Delivery is always conditional on access to the delivery point, local road traffic conditions and regulations and the area being safe and able to accept the delivery. It remains at all times the customer’s responsibility to ensure the delivery point is accessible and to inform the Company if there is any reason why access may be denied to the delivery point.
