Planning the drop in Hitchin

Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Hitchin is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Hitchin, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Choosing 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.

Common questions from Hitchin

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.

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Hitchin 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.
