Please note: all our deliveries are handled by a third party courier. We are unfortunately unable to give any special delivery instructions to drivers. Furthermore we are not responsible for any delays the delivery companies experience.

Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information.

7.1          Booking your Delivery - Where possible, we will endeavour to book your delivery on the day of your choice. Deliveries are Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm (however delivery times cannot be specified). We will need 5 working days if you have a specific date in mind for your delivery.

Deliveries WILL NOT be scheduled with our couriers until you have confirmed the delivery date by return of email.

Access Issues: Please let us know when confirming your delivery if there are any access issues which may prevent our vehicle from delivering. If there are any problems with access, a redelivery fee may occur. 

The Goods will be delivered to you at the kerbside of the address you provided during the order process. This may be an address other than the billing address, but please not the extra documentation may be needed to comply with such orders.

7.2          On the day of Delivery - Please ensure someone is available at the delivery address to take collection of your order. Failed deliveries may incur a redelivery fee.

7.3          All deliveries are classed as "kerbside deliveries". The driver will try to deliver the goods as near to the property as possible. Please note that the delivery driver is not insured to carry the products into your property. For large pallet deliveries you may need to have 2-3 able bodied persons on hand at the time to assist. Your delivery will arrive on an 18 tonne vehicle and will arrive with a tail lift. The courier will bring a 'Pallet Truck' which only has small wheels and will not go up and down steps or over rough ground or deep gravel. If a smaller vehicle is required please inform us in advance and we can request a 7.5 tonne vehicle. 

7.4          Inspecting your goods -Items should be checked upon delivery prior to signing for any damage or missing items. For Bath deliveries - Please note any ancillary products may be packed in and around the bath, space permitting.

Whilst we will try our best to ensure your delivery is received on the day specified, unforeseen delays may occur. We therefore strongly recommend that you do not book plumbers or tradespeople on the strength of the date given.

We recommend that goods are received and checked prior to any work commencing to ensure any errors, delays or faults can be rectified.

We cannot be held liable for any costs incurred by problems with delivery.
