  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Getting the right 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.

Cut ends

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

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.

Treated Carcassing Timber questions

How soon can carcassing timber be delivered in Buckinghamshire?

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 cut timber to length?

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

Do you deliver carcassing timber to trades and homeowners in Buckinghamshire?

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

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.
