Common questions from Enfield

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

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

What lengths are available?

Common lengths run from 2.4 m to 4.8 m in 300 mm steps, with longer lengths to order.

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 Enfield?

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.
