Getting carcassing timber onto your Gorseinon site

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Gorseinon 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.
• On busy streets in Gorseinon, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
