Frequently asked questions
+Are Preston yards open Sunday?
A minority — always ring ahead. Saturday morning coverage is much broader across North West.
+Is weekend pricing higher?
Usually not — but weekend van hire is more expensive.
+Can I paint a cast iron radiator?
Yes — any radiator-grade enamel. Sandblasting first gives the best finish.
