How delivery works in Tyne and Wear

CLS travels in bundles alongside plasterboard and is easy to hand off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Tyne and Wear.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • On busy streets in Tyne and Wear, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

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.

Stud spacing

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

CLS Studwork Timber in Tyne and Wear: questions

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 Tyne and Wear?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Tyne and Wear?

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.

What does CLS stand for?

Canadian Lumber Standard. It refers to the way the timber is dried, planed and finished with rounded edges.
