Getting planed timber onto your Crowborough site

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Crowborough 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.
  • On busy streets in Crowborough, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • In summer Crowborough gets around 16h 33m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Choosing 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.

Quantities: a worked example

A 3 × 3.2 m room with one door has about 11.6 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 12.8 m, or 4 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.

Common questions from Crowborough

Do you deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Crowborough?

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

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 Crowborough 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.

Do you sell MDF skirting?

Yes, primed MDF skirting and architrave in common profiles, alongside softwood.
