Planning the drop in Argyll and Bute

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Across most of Argyll and Bute, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

  • On busy streets in Argyll and Bute, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Choosing planed timber

Matching old profiles

Bring an offcut or a clear profile photo with measurements and we will look for the closest current profile.

Nominal versus finished size

Planing takes material off, so a timber sold as 'nominal' 2 × 4 finishes smaller. Always check finished sizes when you need an exact fit.

Ordering planed timber for Argyll and Bute: FAQs

How should I store planed timber?

Flat, off the ground and inside if possible, so it does not take on moisture and move before fitting.

Can I add other materials to my Argyll and Bute delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from planed timber to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Why is my 2 × 4 smaller than 2 × 4 inches?

Timber is often named by its sawn size before planing. Once planed, it finishes smaller, so a nominal 2 × 4 is roughly 44 × 94 mm or less.

Do you deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Argyll and Bute?

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