Before your Rochester delivery arrives

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

  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
