Delivery to Lossiemouth: what helps

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Lossiemouth is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • With roughly 6h 32m of daylight in Lossiemouth around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Before you order carcassing timber

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.

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.
