Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

Use the right nails

Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Delivery to Bristol: what helps

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Bristol is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Bristol gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Sizing your order

A floor 4.2 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 12 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 12 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.

Common questions from Bristol

Can I add other materials to my Bristol delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from joist hangers and timber connectors to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

What are restraint straps for?

They tie walls to floors and roofs so the walls are restrained against wind and other sideways loads.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Bristol?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What size joist hanger do I need?

One that matches your joist's width and depth, and the type of support: masonry or timber.
