Things to check before you order
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.
Planed Timber & Mouldings questions
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 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.
Do you deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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 Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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.
