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.

Questions about carcassing timber delivery in Briton Ferry

Is your carcassing timber treated?

We supply treated carcassing as standard for structural work. Tell us if the timber is for external or ground-contact use so we supply the right treatment level.

Do you deliver carcassing timber to trades and homeowners in Briton Ferry?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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

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 does C16 and C24 mean?

They are strength classes under BS EN 338. C24 timber is stronger and stiffer than C16, which lets it span further for the same size.
