Delivery to Clydach: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Clydach is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Galvanised hangers suit most sheltered external use; very exposed or coastal locations may need stainless steel.
