Getting carcassing timber onto your Solihull site

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Solihull gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
