Planning the drop in Cardiff

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Cardiff is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• In summer Cardiff gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Picking the right product

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.

Softwood or MDF trim?

MDF skirting and architrave is very straight and paints well; softwood takes knocks better and can be stained.

Questions about planed timber delivery in Cardiff

What does PAR mean?

Planed all round: the timber has been machined smooth on all four faces.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cardiff?

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 you deliver planed timber to a site with restricted access in Cardiff?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

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.
