How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
215mm x 140mm x 215mm precast concrete padstone, designed to distribute loads safely beneath lintels and beams in wide masonry walls.
The 215mm width provides full wall coverage in solid or cavity walls, ensuring structural loads are evenly spread across the supporting masonry.
PAD06 is suited to smaller lintels and beams where wider wall construction requires greater bearing width.
Features & Benefits
- Load distribution: Spreads concentrated loads from lintels or beams into the supporting wall.
- High strength: Manufactured from dense precast concrete to withstand high bearing pressures.
- Durable performance: Resistant to fire, rot, and long-term weathering.
- Full wall coverage: 215mm width suited to solid and wide cavity walls.
- Compact length: 215mm size ideal for small lintels in thick walls.
Applications
- Supporting Steel Beams: Providing a solid bearing for Universal Beams (UBs), Universal Columns (UCs), or Rolled Steel Joists (RSJs) where they bear onto load-bearing brick or block walls.
- Under Concrete Lintels: Distributing the load from precast or prestressed concrete lintels over wider window or door openings onto the supporting jamb masonry.
- Supporting Timber Beams: Used under the ends of heavily loaded timber beams or glulam (glued laminated timber) beams where they sit on masonry walls to prevent crushing of the wood or masonry.
- Lintel bearings: Provides end support for small lintels in wide walls.
- Beam supports: Suited to shorter spans of timber or steel beams.
- Solid walls: Used where full wall thickness coverage is required.
- General structural use: Appropriate for standard residential construction.
Installation Guidance
- Preparation: Ensure padstone is level and fully bedded in mortar.
- Placement: Position directly under the lintel or beam to transfer loads safely.
- Alignment: Maintain full contact with both lintel end and supporting masonry.
- Handling: Lift with care to avoid chipping edges.
Compliance & Performance
- Material: Dense precast concrete.
- Strength: Designed to withstand high compressive loads.
- Fire resistance: Non-combustible and inherently fire resistant.
- Durability: Resistant to weathering and corrosion.
