How ordering and delivery work at SK Trade.

Ordering and delivery

What is SK Trade?

SK Trade is a builders' merchant supplying building materials, timber and sheet materials, cement and aggregates, insulation and drylining, and fixings and tools, delivered to sites across the UK. It is a trading name of S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group.

How do I get a price?

Send us your materials list, a drawing or the sizes of the job using any form on the site, call us, or use the materials calculator. We reply with a delivered price for your postcode.

Do you show prices online?

No. Material prices move and delivery costs depend on the postcode, load and access, so we quote each order delivered. The price you accept is the price you pay for that specification and delivery; if the address or access changes, we re-quote before going ahead.

Where do you deliver?

Across England, Wales and mainland Scotland, with Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and islands, and other island deliveries quoted individually.

How quickly can you deliver?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the products, the quantity and whether items are stock lines or made to order.

Can I order as a homeowner?

Yes. Homeowners, self-builders and trades can all order on a delivered quote.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes. Apply through the trade account page. Credit accounts are subject to status and credit checks, and terms are confirmed in writing.

How are materials delivered?

On flatbed lorries, usually with a lorry-mounted crane for pallets and bulk bags. Smaller orders can travel with a mixed load. We agree the drop point and offload method with you.

What do you need to know about my site?

The drop point, how close a lorry can park, overhead cables or trees, the ground the materials will sit on, and any width, height or weight limits on the route.

Can you help me work out quantities?

Yes. Our calculators give a starting point, and we check quantities against your list or drawings when we price the order.

Can you match existing bricks or tiles?

Often. Send the product name if you know it, or a clear daylight photo with a tape measure for scale, and we will look for the closest current match.

Can I return materials?

If you buy as a consumer at a distance you can usually cancel within 14 days of delivery under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, except for goods made or cut to your specification and goods that have become inseparably mixed with other material after delivery, such as aggregate spread or compacted on site. Our terms set out how to cancel, what a return costs and the model cancellation form.

How do I pay?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. Trade account holders pay on their agreed terms.

Are the photos on this site real deliveries?

No. The photos are computer-generated images used to show the types of materials we supply. We will add photos of real deliveries over time.

Do you supply ready-mixed concrete?

Ask us when you request a price and we will tell you what we can arrange for your location and pour size.

Who do I contact about my data?
