Planning the drop in Peterlee

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
