Before your St Austell delivery arrives

Boxed with the rest of your order. St Austell is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Quantities: a worked example

Sealing round 10 windows of about 1.2 × 1.2 m is roughly 48 m of joint. A 310 ml cartridge runs about 3 m of a 10 × 10 mm bead, so allow 16 cartridges of frame sealant.
