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!

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

These guys are the best company to deal with and excellent products. Stefan is incredibly helpful and knowledgable/ accommodating and I would recommend them profusely. Building a Hempcrete eco lodge in the Forest of Dean using green oak and cladding from Vastern. We always use them for their quality and service.

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

Solid or engineered wood floor?

A wood floor is popular choice for domestic and commercial properties. While solid hardwood flooring remains hard to beat, engineered oak flooring is increasingly the floor covering of choice.

Solid hardwood floorboards have a charm that is hard to re-create with engineered boards. Because solid floorboards can shrink and distort a little in situ they develop a natural authenticity that is unique to real solid hardwood. The installing, sanding and sealing of a hardwood floor is a relatively skilled job and does require a reasonable level of expertise and the use of sanding machines.

If you are laying your floor boards over under-floor heating, or you would prefer your wood boards to have a precise fit, we offer a range of European made engineered oak flooring.

Choosing engineered wood also gives you the option to have a pre-finished floor and a wide array of options. Engineered boards are easier to lay than solid hardwood boards and require very little sanding. In the case of pre-finished boards, no sanding at all is required after installation.

Wood flooring specification

We supply our solid hardwood floor boards at 20mm thick and in random lengths. Most of our floors are supplied in a traditional mixed width format. This allows us to use as much of the tree as possible and keeps the flooring looking authentic.

Our solid wood floor boards have a tongue and groove (T&G) joint running down the long edges but not on the ends. The ends of the boards will require trimming perfectly square before fitting. For suspended floors the ends of the solid boards must be supported by the joists.

Our range of engineered wood flooring is produced from European oak on high quality birch ply and is available in both 15mm and 20mm thick boards and a range of set widths. We offer unfinished as well as pre-finished engineered flooring options and a choice of grades ranging from clear to heavily distressed.

Engineered floor boards are supplied with T&G and micro bevel on all four edges. Floor board lengths are between 1.0mt and 2.4mt long. For suspended floors, engineered boards can by joined without the support of a joist.

Installing your floor

While we offer advice on how to fit your hardwood floor boards, we do recommend that you use an experienced fitter to carry out the work. We can recommend a few good local floor fitters.
