Getting carcassing timber onto your Rochdale site

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• On busy streets in Rochdale, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

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.

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.

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.

Working out quantities for your Rochdale job

A floor 4.8 m wide with joists spanning 3.9 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.
