Planed Timber & Mouldings: choosing well
Matching old profiles
Bring an offcut or a clear profile photo with measurements and we will look for the closest current profile.
Softwood or MDF trim?
MDF skirting and architrave is very straight and paints well; softwood takes knocks better and can be stained.
Working out quantities for your Gainsborough job
A 3.4 × 3.6 m room with one door has about 13.2 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 14.5 m, or 4 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.
Delivery to Gainsborough: what helps
Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Gainsborough is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- In summer Gainsborough gets around 17h 01m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Ordering planed timber for Gainsborough: FAQs
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Gainsborough?
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.
Can you deliver planed timber to a site with restricted access in Gainsborough?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
Do you sell MDF skirting?
Yes, primed MDF skirting and architrave in common profiles, alongside softwood.
