Sound familiar?

  • Site deadlines don't wait

    A missing fitting stops a job. Your customer needs it the next working day, not in three days.

  • Long and awkward stock

    Ducting, pipe and trunking are too long for most couriers.

  • Morning orders, tomorrow's pickup

    Orders taken at the counter in the morning wait for the carrier's next pickup and slip a day.

How we help trade suppliers

Long lengths and boxed kit, straight to site

Ducting, pipe and trunking are too long for most couriers, and a missing fitting can stop a job. We take lengths up to 6.5m and items up to 150kg, collect from your counter or yard, and deliver to the site postcode. Every booking gets a tracking number you can pass to the installer.

The problem

Long stock refused, and no clear price until the invoice

With Tuffnells

Lengths up to 6.5m priced before you book, tracked to site

  • 6.5m longest item
  • 150kg per item
  • Tracking from payment

Worked example
