We import and stock strong and durable timbers for structural applications, civil engineering, sea defences and coastal protection works of all kinds.
We also stock several species of hardwood for decking and cladding applications. We have invested heavily in machinery enabling us to drill, chamfer, rebate and plane (up to a section of 16ins x 16ins) timber to your exact specification.
