Planning the drop in Durham
Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Durham.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DL are priced to the exact address.
