Delivering CLS timber in Galashiels

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Galashiels is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
