Browse our range of treated timber battens — merchant-quality pressure treated battens for roofing, fencing, cladding, and general construction use. Whether you're counter-battening a tiled roof, fixing cladding, or completing a fencing project, Nicks Timber supplies treated battens in the sizes and grades the trade specifies. Reliable stock, consistent quality, and the expertise of a timber merchant established since 1856 — available to order online for trade and retail customers across the UK.
Treated timber battens are one of the most versatile and widely used timber products in UK construction and roofing. Pressure treated with preservative to resist moisture, fungal decay, and insect attack, treated battens are the correct specification wherever timber will be exposed to the elements or installed in conditions where untreated timber would deteriorate over time.
In roofing, battens are fixed horizontally across the rafters to provide a fixing point for roof tiles or slates, working in combination with counter-battens and roofing felt or underlay. The BS 5534 standard governs the sizing and specification of roofing battens in the UK, with 25x50mm and 38x50mm being among the most commonly used profiles on residential roofing projects.
Beyond roofing, treated battens find application in fencing, garden structures, cladding frameworks, and general outdoor construction — anywhere a slim, pressure treated section is needed to provide structure, fixing, or spacing.
At Nicks Timber, we've been supplying roofing and construction timber to the trade since 1856. Our treated batten range is stocked to the sizes and lengths that builders, roofing contractors, and fencing installers rely on day to day, with the consistent quality and dependable availability that comes from nearly 170 years of timber merchanting.
