Paint, sundries and equipment have to arrive, be stored securely and be accessible without getting in anyone's way. On a small domestic job this barely needs discussion; on a busy commercial or residential site it is planned as carefully as any other part of the programme.
Larger deliveries are timed to avoid peak footfall, resident arrival times or other trades' vehicle movements, and confirmed with whoever controls site access beforehand so a lorry is not left waiting or blocking a route.
A defined storage area is agreed before work starts — a locked room, a secure van, a designated corner of a site compound — rather than materials being left wherever there happens to be space on the day.
Stock is brought to the working area in the quantity actually needed for the day rather than a full delivery being opened up in a corridor. This keeps walkways clear and reduces the chance of spills or damage in passing traffic.
No — materials are stored securely, either in a locked room, our vehicle or an agreed compound, not left in a corridor or lobby.
We agree delivery windows with whoever manages site access, whether that is a client, agent or site manager, before ordering.
Where required we do, in line with the product's own storage requirements, kept well away from occupied and heated spaces.
Tell us your site's access hours and storage constraints and we will plan deliveries around them.
Deliveries and storage are planned before the job starts so materials never sit in the way of people using the building.
