Joist Hangers & Timber Connectors delivered to Edinburgh

Timber connectors are galvanised steel brackets that join and restrain structural timber, such as joist hangers that carry joists off a wall or beam and restraint straps that tie floors and roofs to walls.

We deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to sites, driveways and yards across Edinburgh, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Picking the right product

Match the joist size

Hangers are sized to the joist width and depth. Order to your timber schedule.

Use the right nails

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

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How delivery works in Edinburgh

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

  • In summer Edinburgh gets around 17h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

A quick quantity check

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 Edinburgh

Do you deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to trades and homeowners in Edinburgh?

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

Can I use ordinary nails in hangers?

Use the connector nails or screws specified by the maker, usually square-twisted galvanised nails.

Are hangers suitable outside?

Galvanised hangers suit most sheltered external use; very exposed or coastal locations may need stainless steel.

How soon can joist hangers and timber connectors be delivered in Edinburgh?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
