Important Note: Despite careful handling during delivery, some bricks may sustain damage in transit. Therefore, it's advisable to allow for 5% to 10% extra when ordering to prevent project delays. Delivery logistics are as follows:
- Orders of 4 packs or fewer are delivered via tail lift lorry and unloaded using a manual pump truck for kerbside delivery. Note that unloading and maneuvering on a pump truck require a flat concrete road surface and cannot be done on slopes, grass, soft road surfaces, or gravel roads.
- Orders of 5 packs or more are delivered via crane off-load vehicle, except for particularly challenging delivery addresses. Delivery to Cornwall and Scotland may not be guaranteed due to hauliers' availability. In cases where a crane-mounted lorry is unavailable for an extended period, alternative delivery arrangements will be made, potentially incurring additional costs and delays.
Important Notice About Brick Purchases
While every effort is made to ensure safe delivery, there may be instances of brick damage during transit. It is therefore recommended to anticipate some loss by ordering an additional 5-10% above your requirements. This precautionary measure will help prevent project delays in case of breakages.
The customer must ensure sufficient access for delivery and inform of any constraints. Additional charges apply for failed deliveries due to access issues, necessitating redelivery or redirection.
Delivery is non-refundable and collection/return of each pack is subject to a minimum of £95.00 +VAT charge plus a re-stocking charge.

Delivery Notice
For orders of 4 packs or fewer, delivery is made via a tail lift lorry, with bricks offloaded using a manual pump truck for kerbside placement. It's important to note that a flat concrete road surface is necessary for unloading and maneuvering bricks with the pump truck. These lorries cannot be unloaded on slopes, and the pump truck cannot operate on grass, soft surfaces, or gravel roads.
Orders of 5 packs or more are delivered using a crane off-load vehicle, unless the delivery location presents significant accessibility challenges. Please be aware that crane offload delivery may not be available for certain regions like Cornwall and Scotland, depending on hauliers' availability. In the event that a crane-mounted lorry is unavailable for an extended period, alternative vehicle arrangements will be made. However, this may incur additional transport costs and lead to delivery delays.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.

Right product, right price, right delivery.
Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
