Before your Wrexham delivery arrives

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

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Treated Carcassing Timber in Wrexham: questions

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.

Do you deliver carcassing timber to Wrexham?

Yes. We deliver across Wrexham, including LL13, LL14, LL11. Wrexham is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

What does C16 and C24 mean?

They are strength classes under BS EN 338. C24 timber is stronger and stiffer than C16, which lets it span further for the same size.

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

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