Why we need a UK Timber Strategy – our submission to the EAC

September 8, 2022

If we want home-grown timber in 40-years’ time, then we really must plan for it now. There is an urgent need for a National Timber Strategy, and we may have a chance to help shape it. The Environmental Audit Committee called for evidence for their inquiry into the UK timber industry and global deforestation. [UPDATE - In July 20...

Dropped in by chance recently as I ideally wanted a tactile (kiln dried) oak plank for my bathroom. Amazed at the choice from the warehouse stocked full of various sized planks and woods to chose from! The customer service was excellent, as was the smell - as well as knowing the oak I chose was responsibly sourced!I would definitely recommend anyone upgrading a table, needing a worktop, making shelves etc visiting this treasure trove for something truly unique & very affordable!

Something so good about being able to select some great quality timber that has been grown and harvested close to home and skillfully dried and graded by Vastern. I've been using them for years, and always have much appreciated help to select what I need. My customers love to know that the timber used on their project was locally sourced too, which is a bonus.

Just received my order from Vastern Timber and loved the quality of Brimstone Ash which arrived early. I then ran out and required a small additional quantity and instead of the usual 12 week it was supplied in 3 weeks. Thanks a lot Stefan and the team.

Since opening our workshop Murray & Gould Ltd in 2022, Vasterns Timber has become our first choice timber merchant. It certainly helps being local, which got us through the door the first time around, but it’s the service and quality of products that keeps us going back.It’s so easy to make an appointment giving details of what timber and dimensions you wish to select.The timber is made accessible and ready by the time of the appointment which saves so much time. You are taken through the process by ‘Wolf’, who is happy to help however he can to find the timber boards that you require. He’s incredibly patient and helpful so you don’t feel at all rushed or pressured to select unsatisfactory boards, as is often the case elsewhere.The prices have been good every time we’ve been and very fair on any ‘character’ in the boards.If they have, or can source, the species we need, then they are our first port of call. Having been shown round the whole site by Wolf, we have a great picture of the huge stock that is available and the variations within them.David GouldMurray & Gould Ltd

I had a great experience today rummaging through packs of oak in the sun at Vasterns. All the team were friendly and helpful but especially Wolf who spent a long time with me going through the packs of timber and even taking the time to show me a few bits around the site, he was great to deal with and he sorted me out with a beautiful load of timber give that man a pay rise!!See you next time,Josh
