Timber Machining
Our advanced machining facilities produce precision-cut timber components to exact specifications. Using CAD technology and Weinig moulders, we create bespoke profiles for joinery, staircases, and architectural elements. With over 40 years of expertise, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to deliver high-tolerance timber solutions for trade professionals.
Laminating
Our on-site laminating press creates dimensionally stable timber sections by bonding individual laminations. This process enables production of large-format components resistant to warping, ideal for window boards and structural stair elements. We use sustainably sourced hardwoods and softwoods to meet bespoke size and strength requirements.
Cladding Solutions
We supply treated timber cladding for internal and external applications, including Western Red Cedar and Iroko. Our profiles offer thermal insulation and weather resistance while maintaining natural aesthetics. Available in standard patterns or custom designs, with preservative treatments for enhanced durability in commercial and residential projects.
Engineered Timber
Our engineered timber products use finger-jointed technology to enhance wood stability and performance. These solutions reduce waste through efficient material use while maintaining natural wood aesthetics. Available in various specifications for structural applications where solid timber would traditionally be unsuitable.
Accoya Products
We supply Accoya timber, a high-performance wood chemically modified for superior durability and stability. Sourced from sustainably managed Radiata Pine forests, this zero-toxicity material resists decay and moisture, ideal for windows, decking, and exterior joinery requiring minimal maintenance over extended service life.

Having just had a new fence done I needed some timber edging for a border in my garden so I could replace gravel beds. I wanted to ensure continuity so was given the contact by my landscaper who is undertaking an amazing makeover project for me in October which will take some weeks to complete. Unfortunately they refused to sell timber to me because I dont have an account and told me to go through my landscaper. I let my landscaper know and he was surprised at the unhelpfulness. Absolutely fine by me because when it comes to ordering for the main renovation in October I wont be paying to

Complete chancers. Terrible service, utterly terrible cheap quality timber sold way over the odds, rude and ignorant staff. Avoid at all costs.

Very good timber merchant. Have used over several years now. Always happy with timber delivered after I have distance ordered. Prices are good whenever I have checked elsewhere. Just received another delivery (November 2018), very happy with service received and timber.
