Getting carcassing timber onto your Kirkcaldy site

Sizing your order
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.

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.
Cut ends
Treat any cut ends with a suitable end-grain preservative, especially on external work.
In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
Questions about carcassing timber delivery in Kirkcaldy
Do you deliver carcassing timber to Kirkcaldy?
Yes. We deliver across Kirkcaldy, including KY1, KY2, KY3. Kirkcaldy is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
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.
Do you deliver carcassing timber to trades and homeowners in Kirkcaldy?
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.
