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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

How delivery works in Rawtenstall

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BB4 are priced to the exact address.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Rawtenstall gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

A quick quantity check

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists spanning 3.6 m at 400 mm centres needs 15 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.

Questions about carcassing timber delivery in Rawtenstall

Can you deliver carcassing timber to a site with restricted access in Rawtenstall?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What lengths are available?

Common lengths run from 2.4 m to 4.8 m in 300 mm steps, with longer lengths to order.

Do you deliver carcassing timber to trades and homeowners in Rawtenstall?

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

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.
