Getting carcassing timber onto your Acton site

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Acton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Estimating your carcassing timber

A floor 4.2 m wide with joists spanning 4.2 m at 400 mm centres needs 12 joists, plus trimmers and noggins. The section and grade, such as 47 × 200 mm C24, come from span tables or your engineer; send us the timber schedule and we will price it.
