Sizing your order

Getting the right carcassing timber

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.

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Planning the drop in Dromore

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT78 are priced to the exact address.
  • On busy streets in Dromore, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • In summer Dromore gets around 17h 16m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
