Courier Deliveries

Free Delivery On All Orders Over £75.00

Delivery is FREE for all orders over the value of £75.00 and £10.99 for orders under this value to mainland UK.

Order by 12.00pm and the goods will be despatched on a next working day service. Our courier endeavours to meet our next day delivery requirements, although, on the rare occasion delays may occur, due to bad weather or in the very busy periods eg. the run up to Christmas

Please note: Deliveries made by our courier are only available to mainland UK.

All our chemicals are packed in special UN approved containers under the 'limited quantities regulations' to ensure we comply with dangerous goods transport regulations. All orders are then despatched in double-walled boxes to ensure that your delivery arrives in excellent condition.

Pallet Deliveries

Pallet deliveries are made between 8:00am and 6:00pm. We ask the delivery company to call approximately 1 hour before they are due to arrive.

All pallet deliveries are made 'kerbside'. This means your order will be left outside of your property at the nearest accessible location. Please note the pallet truck cannot travel over grass, gravel or steps and the driver will be unable to assist you in taking the goods into your property.

Please ensure you have let us know of any delivery restrictions that would prevent an 26 tonne lorry from unloading a pallet by tail lift outside your property. If a smaller vehicle is required, there will be an additional delivery charge.

Please ensure somebody is at the property on the agreed delivery day as all our deliveries require a signature. Failed palletised deliveries will unfortunately result in re-delivery charges. Some containers weight in excess of 25kg each and we recommend you have arranged help on the day of delivery if you need it.

Delivery to mainland UK only.
