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
Flat Wood Drill Bit with a 22mm diameter is a precision-ground, high-carbon steel bit designed for rapid, clean drilling in softwood, hardwood, and composite timber materials.
The flat, paddle-style cutting head incorporates a central point for accurate positioning and two sharp spurs for controlled cutting and reduced splintering at entry and exit.
The precision-hardened shank provides reliable strength under high torque conditions, ensuring consistent drilling performance with both hand-held and bench-mounted power drills.
The 22mm diameter provides controlled drilling for pipe, conduit, or dowel insertion in larger assemblies.
Features & Benefits
- High-carbon steel construction: Ensures durability, edge retention, and consistent cutting performance in timber.
- Precision-ground tip: Central point provides fast, accurate starts with minimal wandering.
- Clean cutting edges: Twin spurs score the wood surface before cutting for smooth, splinter-free holes.
- Efficient chip clearance: Flat paddle design promotes rapid material removal and prevents clogging.
- Secure shank design: Cylindrical shaft fits standard drill chucks for positive grip and torque transfer.
- Versatile compatibility: Suitable for use with corded and cordless drills in forward rotation.
