Estimating your carcassing timber

Picking the right product

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Getting carcassing timber onto your Limavady site

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
