• On busy streets in Harrow, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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.

Questions about planed timber delivery in Harrow

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 you deliver planed timber to a site with restricted access in Harrow?

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.

What does PAR mean?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Harrow?

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.
