Quantities: a worked example
A floor 4.8 m wide with joists spanning 3.3 m at 400 mm centres needs 13 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.
How delivery works in Isle of Wight
Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Deliveries across Isle of Wight need a ferry crossing, so each one is quoted with the crossing included.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- On busy streets in Isle of Wight, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Things to check before you order
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 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.
Common questions from Isle of Wight
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.
Can I add other materials to my Isle of Wight 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.
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Isle of Wight?
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.
