Delivery to Highland: what helps

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Across Highland, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IV are priced to the exact address.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Before you order CLS timber

Which size?

38 × 63 mm suits most partitions up to standard ceiling heights. 38 × 89 mm gives stiffer, taller walls and more room for insulation.

Loadbearing walls

If the wall carries load it needs graded timber to a design. Plain CLS is not automatically structural.

Ordering CLS timber for Highland: FAQs

Is CLS timber treated?

CLS is kiln dried rather than treated as standard, because it is meant for dry internal use. Treated CLS is available if you need it.

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Highland?

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.

Can CLS be used for loadbearing walls?

Only if it is strength graded and the wall is designed for the load. Ask for graded CLS if your design calls for it.

Do you deliver CLS timber to trades and homeowners in Highland?

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