Planning the drop in Thurso

Rolls are compressed and wrapped; they are light but take up space, so tell us if storage is tight. Thurso is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around KW14 are priced to the exact address.
