Getting the right carcassing timber

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Working out quantities for your Vale of Leven job

A floor 3 m wide with joists spanning 3.3 m at 400 mm centres needs 9 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 your Vale of Leven delivery arrives

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

• On busy streets in Vale of Leven, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Treated Carcassing Timber in Vale of Leven: questions

What sizes of joist do I need?

That depends on the span, spacing, loading and grade. Use span tables or your engineer's design; the council's building standards service will check.

Can I add other materials to my Vale of Leven delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from carcassing timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How soon can carcassing timber be delivered in Vale of Leven?

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.

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.
