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 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.

Sizing your order

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 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.

Delivery to Bath: what helps

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Ordering carcassing timber for Bath: FAQs

Why is my treated timber green or brown?

The colour comes from the preservative. It fades over time and does not tell you how well the timber is protected; the use class does.

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can you deliver carcassing timber to a site with restricted access in Bath?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What lengths are available?
