Delivery to Oakham: what helps

Sheets travel flat on the lorry bed and are hand-offloaded or crane-lifted in packs. Oakham 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.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Oakham gets around 16h 52m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
