Sourcing & Importing
We source premium hardwoods directly from sustainable forests across Europe, America, Africa, and the Far East. Our supply chain ensures full traceability from forest origin to delivery. With 3 million stock in our Liverpool warehouse, we combine extensive inventory with specialist sourcing capabilities for rare timber species.
Precision Machining
Our advanced machining facilities produce timber to exact specifications using bandsaws, multirips, and automated moulders. We offer planed sections, complex profiles, and PAR timber with tolerances maintained to industry-leading standards. In-house tooling production ensures rapid adaptation to unique requirements.
Timber Finishing
We apply water-based primers, lacquers, and stains using high-speed drying technology that accelerates curing by 24 hours. Our finishing processes enhance timber durability while maintaining environmental compliance, with direct-to-site delivery of finished products available nationwide.

Our HR-Prof fire-retardant treatment achieves Euroclass B certification through vacuum-coated application that preserves timber integrity. This non-toxic, solvent-free solution provides permanent protection without compromising engineering properties or environmental standards.

We supply precision-engineered cladding materials in Western Red Cedar, Thermowood, and other durable species. Our profiles combine aesthetic appeal with technical performance, supported by expert advice for architectural applications requiring longevity and natural beauty.

Report
Very slow delivery, 2 weeks late, constantly told it will be shipped tomorrow. Probably best to go somewhere else for smaller business, most likely wont use again
