I am about to replace a flat roof and I need to buy about
6 joists 225x50 by
5 metres long and
9 by 4.8 metres long and
15 by 2.6 metres long and
15 2.4x1200 roof boards.

anyone know where I might get a good price.
London area.
TIA.....

london area to me means inside the M25, give us a bit better clue

EVEN....................... NORTH or SOUTH of the river would be be a better clue than "delivery timed before noon"

oilyboy i dont live in the area so cant give a specific place

in my area it would be Travis Perkins, Merton Timber, Jewsons, Alysford Timber

get a quote from one of them, they just print them off, make sure it includes delivery, then go to another merchant with the quote

timber is sold in multiples of 300mm so you wont be able to buy 5 metre lengths of 50x225 (the minimum would be 5.1m)

allow yourself some leway in the lengths you buy, you will end up using some of the offcuts anyway for blocking, or the ends of the timber will be damaged and you will cut them to waste anyway
