Delivery to Bridgwater: what helps

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
