Transport for Fibre Cement products
Our business has evolved over the last few years and we are enjoying increased demand for cladding products. James Hardie supply a range of fibre cement cladding, aluminium trims and speciailist fittings including coloured paint and colour head stainless screws. We also get requests from all over the UK for Hardie's Geckgo Gauges, Circular Saw Blades and Guillotines. Transport has traditionally been a challenge but we are finding more cost-effective ways of moving products around Mainland UK.

Some products that we sell are difficult to purchase elsewhere and give us a price advantage. In the case of HardiePlank and other Hardie products we keep every current colour in stock, but other merchants such as Travis Perkins & Jewsons don’t. Therefore they have to order these specific products in from Hardies (distribution based in Eastleigh, Southampton) with both extra cost implications and longer lead times. Other specialised products that may be viable to send via the Pallet network include bead & butt cladding, pitch pine flooring and Millboard deckboards.
Delivery lead times
We try to keep all HardiePlank, trims and Hardie VL items in stock. A typical web order will be between 40 and 200 boards, and we can deliver to most parts of Devon & Cornwall using our own transport. Depending on the total sale value, and delivery location, there may be an associated delivery charge. D
