How delivery works in Kilwinning

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Kilwinning is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
