Delivering joist hangers and timber connectors in Inverness

Boxed or bundled with your timber. Inverness is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 4.8 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 13 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 13 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
