Delivery to Cwmbran: what helps

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around NP44 are priced to the exact address.
• With roughly 7h 48m of daylight in Cwmbran around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 3 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 m at 400 mm centres needs 9 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.

Things to check before you order

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Common questions from Cwmbran

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.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cwmbran?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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

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