Planning the drop in Dunoon

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Dunoon is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Dunoon, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Working out quantities for your Dunoon job

A floor 4.2 m wide with joists spanning 3.9 m at 400 mm centres needs 12 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

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Ordering carcassing timber for Dunoon: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Dunoon delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from carcassing timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How soon can carcassing timber be delivered in Dunoon?

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.

Is your carcassing timber treated?

We supply treated carcassing as standard for structural work. Tell us if the timber is for external or ground-contact use so we supply the right treatment level.

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.
