Choosing 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.

Softwood or MDF trim?

MDF skirting and architrave is very straight and paints well; softwood takes knocks better and can be stained.

How delivery works in Northampton

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Estimating your planed timber

A 3.8 × 4.6 m room with one door has about 16 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 17.6 m, or 5 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.

Ordering planed timber for Northampton: 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.

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

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.

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.
