National delivery

All products dispatched to our national delivery areas highlighted in grey on the map will be delivered via our preferred pallet network contractor or our Curtain-sider lorry with mounted forklift.

The areas of the map that are in green signify postcodes where we will deliver your order locally on our crane lorries or tipper van. Please click here to learn more about our local delivery service. The areas in yellow are places where we usually deliver via our lorries when suitable, but during busy periods we may deliver your order via our pallet networks.

Subject to stock and availability, national deliveries via pallet network will normally take two working days from day of dispatch to the day of delivery. Please also allow extra time for us to make and bag your order before dispatch.

If we think it more suitable to deliver your order via our curtain-sider lorry, delivery will take longer than two working days, depending on routing or time of year.

We will always try and choose the fastest and most suitable delivery method for you and your access. If you would like your delivery on a specific day, please call or email in advance, or there will be opportunity for you to provide us with a desired delivery date at the checkout.

National pallet network delivery restrictions:

Important, please check the following national delivery restrictions before placing an order:

1. Make sure there is sufficient access at your delivery location for the delivery vehicle to unload the pallet.

The lorry will be about the size of a dust cart (for detailed dimensions see diagram).

If you need a smaller vehicle or are unsure please call us before placing an order online.

2. The bag/bags will be delivered on a pallet that is 1m wide x 1m long, and can be up to 1.6m high.

Depending on the product type or bag size, the pallet may weight up to 1000kg.

3. Due to the heavy nature of our items it will be moved from the delivery lorry using an electric pallet trolley/pump truck. The pallet trolley will be used manually to move the bag across smooth level surfaces (such as tarmac or concrete). The trolleys do not work on gravel drives, steeply sloped drives, grass and uneven surfaces, and cannot be lifted over walls, fences or into gardens.

4. The drivers always make every effort to get the bags onto your driveway. However, if this is not possible then the bags will be left at kerbside or on the pavement outside your property. We can only guarantee delivery to kerbside or roadside, please ensure you are happy with this manner of delivery before placing your order.

5. If you are not going to be in when the bag is delivered then it is important that you provide clear instructions on where the bag needs to be left. We ask that you provide us with a telephone number on which you can be contacted on the day of delivery. It is important that you can be contacted on the delivery day in case any queries or issues arise.

There will be opportunity to provide us with delivery instructions at checkout.

Our Curtain-sider lorry with mounted forklift:

Our Curtain-sider lorry offers nationwide delivery, with less restrictions than a delivery via our pallet networks, e.g., our forklift can travel over different terrains like gravel and uneven surfaces.

This lorry, forklift and its driver can be hired to deliver your goods around the UK.
