Planning the drop in Ilford

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Ilford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Ilford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Choosing CLS timber

Loadbearing walls

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

Stud spacing

Studs are usually set at 400 mm or 600 mm centres to suit 1200 mm wide plasterboard.

Common questions from Ilford

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 many studs do I need?

Divide the wall length by the stud spacing (400 or 600 mm), add one, then add plates and noggins. Our plasterboard calculator gives the boards for the same wall.

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

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

How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Ilford?
