Planning the drop in Pontefract

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WF8 are priced to the exact address.

Sizing your order
