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.

Planning the drop in Halewood

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around L26 are priced to the exact address.
• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Halewood around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

How much will you need?

A floor 3.6 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 m at 400 mm centres needs 10 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.

Questions about carcassing timber delivery in Halewood

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

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

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Halewood 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.
