Estimating your planed timber
A 4.2 × 3.2 m room with one door has about 14 m of wall to skirt. With 10% for joints and offcuts that is 15.4 m, or 4 lengths of 4.2 m skirting, plus architrave for each side of the door.
Planed Timber & Mouldings: choosing well
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.
Delivering planed timber in St Albans
Finished timber is protected and handled with care; tell us if it needs to go inside out of the weather. St Albans is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Ordering planed timber for St Albans: FAQs
Can I add other materials to my St Albans 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.

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.
