Planning the drop in Fort William

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Fort William is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • With roughly 6h 45m of daylight in Fort William around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • On busy streets in Fort William, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Before you order 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 Fort William

How soon can planed timber be delivered in Fort William?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Fort William?

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.

Do you sell MDF skirting?

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