Things to check before you order
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.
How delivery works in Leicester
CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Leicester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- With roughly 7h 38m of daylight in Leicester around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Ordering CLS timber for Leicester: FAQs
How soon can CLS timber be delivered in Leicester?
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.
What is the difference between CLS and planed timber?
CLS has rounded edges and is sized for studwork; planed all round timber has square edges and comes in many more sizes for joinery and trim.
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.
