Delivery to Chingford: what helps
Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Chingford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Estimating your carcassing timber
A floor 4.8 m wide with joists spanning 4.2 m at 400 mm centres needs 13 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.
Before you order carcassing timber
Cut ends
Treat any cut ends with a suitable end-grain preservative, especially on external work.
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.
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.
Questions about carcassing timber delivery in Chingford
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.
What sizes of joist do I need?
That depends on the span, spacing, loading and grade. Use span tables or your engineer's design; building control will check.
