How delivery works in Kirkcaldy

Lintels are long, so tell us about tight access. Shorter lintels can travel with a mixed load; long steel lintels are handled by hand or crane. Kirkcaldy is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• With roughly 6h 55m of daylight in Kirkcaldy around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• On busy streets in Kirkcaldy, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Sizing your order

For a 2,700 mm clear opening, add at least 150 mm of bearing at each end: the lintel needs to be at least 3,000 mm long. Then pick the type for the wall build-up and check the load in the manufacturer's table, or ask your engineer if the opening carries a floor or roof.

Choosing lintels

Do I need a cavity tray?

Over openings in cavity walls, water in the cavity has to be directed outwards. Many steel lintels need a separate cavity tray and stop ends; check the lintel maker's detail.

Steel or concrete?

Steel cavity lintels support both leaves and include insulation to limit cold bridging. Concrete lintels are simple and robust for single leaves and internal walls.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Questions about lintels delivery in Kirkcaldy

How long should a lintel be?

The clear opening plus the end bearing at each side, typically at least 150 mm per end. Check the manufacturer's table for your lintel.

Can I add other materials to my Kirkcaldy delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from lintels to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Kirkcaldy?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Are steel lintels insulated?

Cavity wall steel lintels usually have insulation inside to cut heat loss at the opening. Single-leaf and box lintels may not.
