Getting joist hangers and timber connectors onto your Essex site

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Essex.

Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Picking the right product

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.

Your questions answered

Do I nail every hole in a joist hanger?

Follow the maker's instructions; many hangers need specific nails in specific holes to reach their rated load.

What are restraint straps for?

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

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

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Essex?

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.
