Timed collection & delivery
Collection from your branch within 60 minutes and delivery to site inside an agreed window — a promise your counter staff can give a contractor, not 'sometime today'.
Rapid site delivery for the trades
From the trade counter to site — before the job stalls.
Timed, guaranteed deliveries for builders' merchants and trade counters. We collect from your branch within the hour and deliver to site in a promised window — so your customers' crews keep working.
- 60-min collection
- Timed site windows
- 2-man capable
- Photo proof on drop
We complement your own next-day fleet — think of us as your branch's rapid-delivery department, not a replacement for it.
Same-day the trade can actually rely on.
Most trade counters can only promise “by end of day” — and a crew stood waiting for materials costs more than the delivery. Trade Express exists to close that gap.
Bulky & awkward loads
Sheet materials, doors, worktops, radiators, bathroom sets. Two-person crews and the right vehicle for heavy, high-value trade orders.
Site-ready drivers
PPE, safe unloading, named-recipient handover and photo confirmation on every drop. Our procedures are written for live sites, not doorsteps.
Booking counter staff can use
Phone, email or portal booking that captures site access notes and urgency at the counter. No till integration needed to get started.
Multi-drop runs that stay on time
Urgent jobs are clustered by area and time window, so drops share a vehicle without missing their promised slot.
Branch-level reporting
Promised vs actual delivery time, on-time rate and any site issues, reported per branch — proof of reliability for you and your customers.
Who it's for.
Builders' merchants
Independent and national-chain branches that want a genuine same-day option for account customers — without running extra vans of their own.
Electrical & plumbing wholesalers
Trade counters whose contractors can't wait until tomorrow for the part that finishes today's job.
Site & project managers
Contractors who need a forgotten, damaged or urgent item on site today — before the crew stands idle.
Built around the promise, not the parcel.
A window, not an estimate
Every job gets a promised delivery window and we report against it. When a crew is waiting on a drop, 'by end of day' isn't good enough.
Complements your own fleet
Your vans keep their planned next-day rounds. We take the urgent, awkward, off-route drops that would wreck their schedule.
More first-time deliveries
Site access notes captured at booking, drivers who call ahead, and photo proof at handover — fewer failed drops, fewer disputes.
Straightforward pricing
A simple rate card agreed per merchant: base fee plus mileage, with clear surcharges for out-of-hours work and waiting time. No bidding-platform roulette.
Keep the site moving.
