  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Getting the right joist hangers and timber connectors

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Questions about joist hangers and timber connectors delivery in Gwent

Are hangers suitable outside?

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

Can you deliver joist hangers and timber connectors to a site with restricted access in Gwent?

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.

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

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

What are restraint straps for?

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