How delivery works in Stoke-on-Trent

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

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • In summer Stoke-on-Trent gets around 16h 56m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Picking the right product

Cut ends

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

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.

Sizing your order

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists spanning 3.3 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.
