All products delivered by Building Materials Wholesale will be delivered to kerb side. Once the driver is at the delivery address, he will let the customer know if it is physically possible to move bricks elsewhere i.e. onto the drive way, around the back etc. If it is physically impossible to leave them exactly where you want them, they will be unloaded at the nearest access point by the kerb outside the delivery address. Please note, to unload and move bricks around on a pump truck, a flat concrete road surface is required, pump truck CAN NOT be used on soil, grass and gravel roads and these lorries can not be unloaded if the road or the driveway is on the slope as the tail of the lorry has to be parallel to the ground surface.
An exception is the use of vehicle mounted crane, customer is required to provide all necessary labour, equipment and space required to unload materials.
The customer is responsible for ensuring adequate access for the delivery and must advise of any restrictions which may result in an unsuccessful delivery. An additional haulage charge will be applied and payable by the customer if the delivery cannot be completed due to accessibility and lack of space and your items have to be redelivered or diverted to a different address.

Zone 1: Average Delivery Lead Time 2-5 working days
Zone 2: Average Delivery Lead Time 2-6 working days

Bricks can be delivered to any part of the country except Northern Ireland and all islands not connected to the mainland by bridges.
