Delivering carcassing timber in Penarth

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
