Choosing 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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Delivery to Merthyr Tydfil: what helps

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

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CF47 are priced to the exact address.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Common questions from Merthyr Tydfil

How soon can carcassing timber be delivered in Merthyr Tydfil?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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 Merthyr Tydfil?

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

What sizes of joist do I need?

That depends on the span, spacing, loading and grade. Use span tables or your engineer's design; building control will check.
