DELIVERY INFORMATION

Everything you need to know about our delivery options, pricing and timescales.

All deliveries are made by our trusted carriers right across the country.

They deliver between 8am and 6pm to the kerbside only. This restriction applies to all deliveries – including larger ones, such as bathroom products – so you may need to get someone to help. Morning or afternoon slots are available for an additional charge, please discuss this with our team before you order.

In addition, we’re also operating a no-touch policy, so you won’t have to sign directly for packages. If your order is delivered on a pallet this will not be taken away by the courier, there are plenty of ways to re-use a pallet or dispose of it responsibly.

Our Warehouse Team at our Head Office in Oxfordshire pack every order with care to ensure they reach you exactly how we send them. If your tiles don't arrive safely please get in touch with us as soon as you receive your order so we can rectify this for you.

Our Warehouse Team don't work on bank holidays so please allow an extra day or two for orders made ahead of a long weekend.

If you can't find what you're looking for on this page please get in touch with the showroom you ordered with, our online sales team if you ordered online, or our transport team directly.


Before you order

Please allow time and tiles!

Please do not commence any installation work, book plumbers or other tradespersons until your order has been delivered and thoroughly checked over. 

We strongly advise that accurate quantities are ordered for your project in one order, inclusive of sufficient additional tiles for cuts and wastage. Any ‘top up’ orders may be subject to batch variation and may not match the initial product.

Please ensure there is someone at the property to receive your delivery. We recommend goods are stored internally or in a dry external place like a garage or shed till you're ready to start installing. Please note that if tiles are stored externally that they should be covered and allowed to acclimatise to the room they are being used in prior to laying. 

Collections

Orders under 50kg can be arranged to be collected from most of our showrooms. Please discuss this when you place your order with our team.

On collection you'll be asked for your name and order number. Please make sure your vehicle is suitable for carrying the goods, we can confirm the total weight when you order.

Orders for collection must be collected within 5 working days, after this your order will be returned to our warehouse for safe keeping.

Please note: Our showroom teams are not permitted to leave the showroom unattended so may not be able to assist you with transferring your order to your vehicle.

Non UK Mainland - Exports

All non UK mainland deliveries will be classed as an export order and will require an export quote. We tender for the best possible shipping price, which can take up to 5 days, each quote is valid for 30 days.

Please contact your local showroom or email [email protected] to discuss your options. Alternatively, you can arrange for your own shippers to collect from our Adderbury warehouse at your cost. Please discuss this when placing your order.

If we do have a distributor, whilst we cannot export directly to you, we can certainly assist you with an introduction to our local team who will be able to assist you with your purchase.

Deliveries will always be directed to the nearest kerbside location as this is where we are insured to deliver to.

The pallet will only be moved and delivered beyond the kerbside at the driver’s discretion upon delivery.

Orders will not be delivered into the property nor will the driver de-palletise the goods for you.

Please be discouraged from requesting a beyond kerbside delivery upon ordering to prevent any damages to the goods, the driveway, or even a vehicle, as well as preventing any delivery refusals due to false assumptions.

It should be declared upon ordering about any hazards or obstructions that may result in the delivery having to be delivered to an alternative location. For example, sloped or gravel driveways.

Deliveries will arrive by pallet on a delivery vehicle.

The pallet will be offloaded via tail lift and will be manoeuvred via a manual or electric pump truck depending on the pallet weight.

Please ensure you keep a safe distance from the delivery vehicle, when it is moving and the tail lift is in operation.

It should be declared upon ordering any potential access issues that could cause the delivery to be unsuccessful.

Below is a list of access restrictions that could result in a failed delivery:

  • Single-track roads
  • Cul-de-sacs
  • Roads with environmental weight restrictions
  • One-way streets
  • Streets prone to masses of parked vehicles
  • Low hanging trees
  • Height restricted low bridges

If any of these restrictions apply to your delivery location or the surrounding areas, please advise the showroom you’ve placed the order with so they can notify the carrier accordingly.
