Delivery to Falkirk: what helps

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Falkirk 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.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• With roughly 6h 57m of daylight in Falkirk around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Estimating your planed timber

A 3.8 × 3.6 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.

Getting the right planed timber

Softwood or MDF trim?

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

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.

Questions about planed timber delivery in Falkirk

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.

What does PAR mean?

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

Can I add other materials to my Falkirk 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 deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Falkirk?

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