How much will you need?
A 3.4 × 4.6 m room with one door has about 15.2 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 16.7 m, or 4 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.
Getting the right planed timber
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.
Matching old profiles
Bring an offcut or a clear profile photo with measurements and we will look for the closest current profile.
Before your Kettering delivery arrives
Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. Kettering is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- In summer Kettering gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
Your questions answered
Can you deliver planed timber to a site with restricted access in Kettering?
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.
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 I add other materials to my Kettering 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.
What does PAR mean?
Planed all round: the timber has been machined smooth on all four faces.
