Delivering carcassing timber in Newry

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.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Choosing carcassing timber

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.
