Delivering carcassing timber in Antrim

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• With roughly 7h 13m of daylight in Antrim around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

A quick quantity check

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists spanning 4.2 m at 400 mm centres needs 15 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.

Treated Carcassing Timber: choosing well

C16 or C24?

C24 is stronger and stiffer, so it can span further or use a smaller section. Span tables and your structural drawings decide which grade and size you need.

Which treatment?

Treatment is specified by use class. Timber inside a building is usually use class 1 or 2; external timber out of ground contact is use class 3; timber in ground contact needs use class 4.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Treated Carcassing Timber questions

Can I add other materials to my Antrim delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from carcassing timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Antrim?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What sizes of joist do I need?

That depends on the span, spacing, loading and grade. Use span tables or your engineer's design; building control will check.

Can you cut timber to length?

Ask when you request a price; we will tell you what cutting is possible for your order.
