Before you order planed timber
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.
Matching old profiles
Bring an offcut or a clear profile photo with measurements and we will look for the closest current profile.
How delivery works in Cowes
Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Cowes needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO31 are priced to the exact address.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- In summer Cowes gets around 16h 30m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
A quick quantity check
A 4.2 × 3.2 m room with one door has about 14 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 15.4 m, or 4 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.
Your questions answered
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cowes?
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.
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.
Can I add other materials to my Cowes 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.
Can you match an old skirting profile?
We can look for the closest current profile. Exact matches for old or bespoke profiles may need machining to order.
