Treated Carcassing Timber: choosing well

Cut ends

Treat any cut ends with a suitable end-grain preservative, especially on external work.

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.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Estimating your carcassing timber

A floor 4.8 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 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.

Delivering carcassing timber in Motherwell

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
