I have used them, they were supplied from a place near Inverness. I don't think I had any other choice, though.

how much did you end up paying if you don't mind me asking .

I can't find the quote/invoice but it was about £35 per joist, mine were 300mm depth and 4.8m long.

I am using the last of my first batch on our garden room. I got them through Jewson who were slightly more expensive than my local supplier but only by a fraction and they said they would crane them off. In the end the lorry arrived without a crane so I could have got them from the local supplier. The cost was £1260+VAT for 28 x 10m of 195mm joists delivered in Kent. On the house the SE has asked for a different make so I will have to find new prices.

PS they have been great to work with as timber goes but you have to store them straight, upright and flat. I made a 10m stillage for them which has kept them well but one I pulled out and left for a couple of days draped over the saw bench took on a very pronounced bend.
