FAQ
All of our C16 and C24 graded timber is regularised
Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
We have one of the largest ranges of timber lengths, dimensions and grades available to buy online.
The variation you require will determine the exact lead time and delivery method.
Most orders arrive within 3-4 days, the maximum is 7 days. Please get in touch before you order if you need a specifc delivery date.

Great Speedy service
Great speedy service. OSB boards arrived 1 week ahead of schedule. Driver asked where he could unload rather than just unload. Would definitely recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Precast Concrete padstones must be positioned correctly on the masonry wall to adequately support the loading from the steel beam or other lintel. If the lintel of the beam is not aligned properly with the padstone, the load distribution might be uneven.
When a steel beam is held up by masonry, a padstone may be necessary to distribute the weight over a broader area to avoid overstressing.
Lintels are horizontal components that are specifically placed above openings such as doors and windows to bear the masonry loads that occur over these openings and direct them to the adjacent walls. The main distinctions are that beams are longer structural elements, whereas lintels are shorter and only span above the openings.
A padstone for steel is a high-strength block that evenly distributes the weight of RSJs or other steelwork into the surrounding masonry. Without a concrete padstone, concentrated loads can cause structural cracks or failure in brick/blockwork.
Yes, our concrete lintels are designed for both internal and external applications. They are reinforced and weather-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor exposure.
Yes, it's best practice - and often required - to use concrete padstones under every beam to safely distribute loads and prevent wall damage. They're especially critical in steel and RSJ installations.
