FAQs

Why are some roof battens dyed blue?

In most cases, for no reason. However, some dyes can indicate a type or grade of timber. In our case, we think the supplier likes the colour.

Can you provide for bulk orders?

We do provide larger orders for bigger projects and work with customers to phase deliveries when they need them on site.

Do you provide a cutting service?

Our cutting service is coming soon, so keep an eye on our newsletter.

What is the difference between graded and ungraded timber?

Ungraded timber tends to be rough sawn and is generally sold as a wet, unseasoned, mixed species softwood whereas graded timber is usually kiln dried and widely used as load bearing or structural timber

What does C16 and C24 mean?

Both are commonly used in construction, however C24 timber has been graded to a higher standard than C16 which means it can handle heavier loads and wider spans.
