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.

How delivery works in Leicester

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

How much will you need?

A floor 3.6 m wide with joists at 400 mm centres has 10 joists; hung off a wall at one end that is 10 joist hangers, plus restraint straps at the spacing your design shows.
