Choosing carcassing timber

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.

How delivery works in Bromsgrove

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around B61 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
