Planning the drop in South Shields

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in South Shields, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

A quick quantity check

A 3 × 3.6 m room with one door has about 12.4 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 13.6 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.

Ordering planed timber for South Shields: FAQs

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 South Shields?

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.

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 South Shields?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
