Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors: choosing well
Use the right nails
Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.
Match the joist size
Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.
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 Colchester: what helps
Boxed or bundled with your timber. Colchester 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 drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
