Managing bathroom and tiling deliveries on site
Practical steps to reduce damage, shortages and wasted labour when finishes arrive.
Phase deliveries to readiness
Deliver finishes only when rooms are weathertight and secure. Early deliveries are the leading cause of damaged sanitaryware and lost tiles.
Label by plot and room
Ask for deliveries grouped and labelled by location. Installers then pick up a room pack rather than searching a compound.
Check batches and quantities on arrival
Tiles vary by production batch. Check batch numbers match across a room and record shortages or damage on the delivery note the same day.
Allow for wastage and spares
Order tile wastage appropriate to the layout and format, and retain a small, labelled stock for future repairs.
