Are you hobby friendly?
As of 19th September 2017 we opened a Joinery & Woodworking centre open to both trade customers and the public.
Can you self-select or is it by appointment?
Within the shop area there is no need to book an appointment and it is a self-select your own timber.
Will you deliver?
In some cases we can deliver, delivery prices depend on quantity, length and the value of the order.
Do you have online ordering?
We don’t have an online shop at this moment. However I myself am always willing to help over the phone or email.
Are prices displayed at the yard?
Every board in the shop area is barcoded and priced. These labels also display the dimensions and the volume of each individual board.
Do you sell domestic hardwoods?
The majority of our hardwoods are imported from the USA, Africa and Europe. We do however stock English Sycamore some large English Elm slabs and some English Oak Burr slabs. Domestic hardwoods is something we are starting to look into a little more, especially sisnce we have opened the new store.

Yes, species listed above.
Are you a one-man-band or a small, medium or large yard?
Our site covers a 7 acre site and we employ over 40 people. The site staff consists of 6 members. The yard is large and is mostly used for bulk and trade sales. We do have a totally renovated warehouse for self selecting timber open to the public though.
Will you cut to length to fit into a vehicle?
We have a cross cut saw located next the shop counter and we are more than happy to cross cut boards so that they will fit into a car. Our cross cutting service is not a service where we can cut to exact measurements or for cutting a large amount of boards.
The service is only to help the public fit items into their cars.
Do you have any comments that you want to add?
We also stock skirtings architraves and other various profiled items. These are mostly stocked in both Oak and a paint grade hardwood (mostly Tulipwood). Cladding and decking is another range of products that we stock on site.
We also have a large amount of clearance items. This has proven to be very popular with the public as they can pick up a very good deal. Pieces can range from 50p to £25, we also carry sales bundles and packs.
Everyone can keep up with our shop on social media we have Facebook, Instagram & Twitter accounts.
