Delivering carcassing timber in Aberystwyth

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Aberystwyth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
