Picking the right product
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.
Planed Timber & Mouldings questions
Can I add other materials to my Manchester 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.
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.
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 deliver planed timber to trades and homeowners in Manchester?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
