How delivery works in Lancaster

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

• 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.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

A floor 5.4 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 15 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 15 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
