Picking the right product

Cut ends

Treat any cut ends with a suitable end-grain preservative, especially on external work.

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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Estimating your carcassing timber

A floor 3 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 m at 400 mm centres needs 9 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.

Delivering carcassing timber in Banstead

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
