How delivery works in Kendal

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Kendal is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • In summer Kendal gets around 17h 13m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
