Profile Range

We have created this guide to help you select your ideal timber cladding profile.

Our range of timber cladding profiles is suitable for both external and internal wall cladding and come in choice of rough sawn and smooth finishes. Whether you are installing your timber cladding vertically or horizontally we have profiles to suit and if you want to hide the fixings, we have specific profiles to make it possible.

We think that we have a cladding profile to suit most situations and tastes without overcomplicating things. If we don’t, we can always make a new one.

Great service, wide knowledge and selection of British timbers. Inspiring place and people!

The Canadian Red Cedar that Vastern supplied has helped CRD Bath, our builder, to create a spectacular house. We have used it for cladding the first floor and the soffits of all of the overhangs. Vastern planed the timber to uniform profiles throughout and the quality of the workmanship on site has resulted in a superb job. It is pleasing to see the timber already beginning to weather uniformly.

I have been using vasterns for 2 years now and over this time I have had so much help from Wolf since I met him . His knowledge of timber has been amazing and it has made a big difference to my work being able to speak to him and explain what I am after and him helping me decide what to use , how to treat it , how it reacts . It makes a big difference having a good relationship with the person you are buying from and I can’t recommend him enough . I wouldn’t be able to do some of the jobs I get without his help and his input . I know when I’m buying from him it will be the right choice of timber and the highest quality. He is a real asset to myself and other customers that I know use vasterns .
Always thankful for his help and his time .

I recently had an excellent experience with Vastern Timber for purchasing some amazing ash boards !

The range of wood options is impressive, and the quality is unmatched.
A special shoutout to Wolf for his exceptional assistance—he was not only helpful and knowledgeable but also incredibly polite and professional. He made the whole process a breeze.

I highly recommend Vastern Timber for top-notch products and outstanding service. Thanks again, Wolf!

The best timber supplier I've used. Excellent pricing, great value for money and top quality timber with massive stocks. Staff were knowledgeable, efficient and couldn't do enough for you, even had a biscuit for my dog.

We have been using Vastern Timber for over 30 years and there is a good reason for that, their knowledge, service and wide selection and quality of great British timber we have not found elsewhere.
I would recommend to anyone, builders, carpenters, cabinetmakers go and speak to them to discuss your project.

From the start Dee was so helpful with arranging our appointment to view Vasterns huge array of timber including kiln dried slabs and live edge pieces. We were promptly taken around to view the larger slabs by Wolf and advised on the various timbers they have I'm stock. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Cannot fault their service will be back👍🏻

From our first visit to the showroom we were very impressed with the range on offer, the knowledge, expertise and helpful advice provided by Stefan. The quality of the product we ordered was excellent and communication and delivery very efficient. I would highly recommend Vaster Timber.

The Dorset Tree Shepherd Ltd. is extremely pleased to have found Vastern Timber, what an incredible place! Such vast amounts of excellent quality timber, stacked and drying. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, thank you so much to Stefan and Wolf for providing a first class service.

I regularly use Vastern for purchasing locally grown, sustainably sourced British oak and ash. I then use this for making bespoke fitted and freestanding furniture. The quality of the timber is excellent and reliable. I usually deal with Wolf when I visit who's friendly, knowledgeable and allows time to search for the timber that fits my requirements. The company really cares about what they do, and they promote the conservation and enhancement of British woodlands which is important to me and really sets them apart!

We ordered English Cedar to clad the outside of our bungalow. Initially we weren't sure what we needed, but Stefan was very helpful and knowledgeable and guided us through the whole process. He answered any queries and made it quick and easy to place our order. We were told how long it would take and our ordered was delivered very promptly once it had been milled. The product delivered is of a very high standard and we are extremely pleased. We cannot fault Vastern and would definitely recommend them. Many thanks to Stefan, the delivery driver (who was brilliant) and the whole team.

Vastern timber isn't the closest to me, however I will make the time to go to them. They always hold a selection of British timber and are very knowledgeable of the timber they sell. The staff are fantastic and I always get great service.

Went to Vastern to collect some waney edge boards for our table making business. Met Wolf who was really helpful. Took the time to show us there stock and even invited us back the next day to view the larger slabs they had in their storage shed. Great service. Will be back for sure.

Paul S.

From the very start of my waney edge cladding project Dee at Vastern provided invaluable advice and guidance. First class customer service and quality timber I would highly recommend Vastern Timber for any size job you might want to undertake.

I would like to express how impressed i was with my visit to vastern timber today. I was unable to find a suitable oak window sill in the showroom. I was then served by Wolf who showed me the full available stock. This enabled me to find 2 pieces of thick oak with a waney edge. Ideal for what i wanted and he was also able to run the top surface through the plainer which saved me a huge amount of work and has given me a really fabulous finish. Thanks again

Fantastic range of timber available and the team are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended

Matthew M.

It's good when the cheapest option is the most local and the friendliest service!

I got the B grade Siberian larch halflap and it looks really good, a lot cleaner than expected.

On delivery driver Andy was really friendly and helped me handball it all down the garden saving me a chunk of time.

Will be using them again
