Delivery to Gerrards Cross
Inside the 30-mile band, so transport is in the price
Every quote starts with the same steel unit and the same two-person team from our depot in Slip End, Luton. What changes from town to town is the transport line, and for Gerrards Cross it looks like this.
Delivery and collection transport are included. Gerrards Cross is about 28.6 road miles from our Luton depot, a drive of roughly 37 minutes, which keeps it inside the 30-mile band where transport is included in the price. The quote works the distance out from your exact postcode, so an address on the far side of town could tip over the line; if it does, the difference is a pound or two each way.
A bit about Gerrards Cross
Gerrards Cross is a low-density town of around 8,500 people where most of the housing is large detached homes on leafy plots, much of it built after the railway arrived in 1906. The Common, which sits at the heart of the town, has conservation area status together with the houses around it, and the former South Bucks district is 89 per cent green belt, so the town cannot spread. Bulstrode Park Camp, an Iron Age earthwork, is a scheduled monument, and Chalfont St Peter runs straight into the town to the north. Long drives and gated entrances are common, and our hand-built units suit them well.
The town centre along the A40 Oxford Road has shops, restaurants, professional firms and an Everyman cinema that dates from 1925, and the Tesco store sits above the railway in a tunnel completed in 2010 after a partial collapse in 2005. Fast Chiltern trains reach Marylebone in about 18 minutes, the M40 and M25 are next door, and Heathrow is about eight miles away. Families here often undertake substantial extensions and whole-house refurbishments, and with five grammar schools in catchment, moves into the town are constant. Those projects, plus solicitors and agents in the centre needing archive and stock space, are why people call us.

Drives, gardens, yards and sites
The same rules apply in every town we cover. If the panels can be carried in and the ground is firm, the unit can go there.
- The route in must be free of low branches, narrow gates and tight turns. No cranes, HGVs or HIABs: the panels come through by hand.
- The unit is temporary and not fixed down, so planning permission is not usually needed. Check with the local planning authority for a listed property or a conservation area, or if it is staying long term.
- Not sure your spot will work? Tell us about the access when you enquire and we will confirm it before anything is booked.
How it works
Delivered, assembled, collected
Give us about 7 days' notice, and our team is in Gerrards Cross roughly 37 minutes after leaving the depot.
Delivered by van
The panels arrive flat-packed on our Luton van, so tight streets, side passages and back gardens are not a problem.
- No cranes, no HGVs, no HIABs
- Minimum 2,150 mm height clearance on the route in
- Weekday installations, Saturdays by appointment
Assembled by hand, on site
Our team builds the unit in the agreed spot on a firm, reasonably level surface. No permanent fixings, and planning permission is not usually needed.
- Driveways, patios, gardens, yards and sites
- Two built-in deadlocks on the door
- Once loaded, the unit stays where it was built
Used, then collected
Keep it for four weeks or a lot longer. When you have finished and the unit is empty, we come back, dismantle it and take it away.
- Give us 7 working days' notice to off-hire
- Extend at any time, no fixed end date
- Nothing left behind on your property
We deliver and assemble the unit. We do not transport or handle your belongings, so you load it at your own pace and keep the keys.
