Delivery to Putney: what helps

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
