Choosing carcassing timber

Cut ends

Treat any cut ends with a suitable end-grain preservative, especially on external work.

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 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.

Getting carcassing timber onto your Great Malvern site

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WR14 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Great Malvern, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Ordering carcassing timber for Great Malvern: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Great Malvern 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.

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 Great Malvern?

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.

Can you cut timber to length?

Ask when you request a price; we will tell you what cutting is possible for your order.
