Delivering CLS timber in London

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

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • In summer London gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Before you order CLS timber

Stud spacing

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

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.

Ordering CLS timber for London: FAQs

Is there a minimum order for delivery to London?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.

Yes. We deliver across London, including EC1, WC1, SE1, W1. London is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.
