Delivering carcassing timber in Stonehaven

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Stonehaven 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.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• On busy streets in Stonehaven, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 3.6 m wide with joists spanning 4.2 m at 400 mm centres needs 10 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.

Before you order carcassing timber

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Can you cut timber to length?

Ask when you request a price; we will tell you what cutting is possible for your order.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Stonehaven?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can carcassing timber be delivered in Stonehaven?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
