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.

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.

Great service and helpful staff. With a wide selection of waney Edge British timber, you can sort through any of the packs to find exactly what you're looking for which is a huge plus!

Waney edge larch clad 4x4 shed for £500. Half the price of everyone else. Great customer service on the phone. Fast delivery.

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!

If you're a carpenter, you'll love this place. Great selection of oak planks, mouldings, various lengths and sizes. Amazing choices of whole tree rough edged planks, various sizes and types, oak, elm, etc. Lot's more too, cladding, oils, the list goes on. Competitive prices, friendly helpful service 👍

1st time I’ve used Vastern timber and the service was 10 out of 10. The website was easy to use and backed up by the knowledge of their staff. Andy the delivery driver turned up at the arranged time and was most helpful in unloading, even though the rain was lashing it down. Would definitely use Vastern timber for future projects.

I recently visited Vastern timber by appointment for some character double waney edge timber. The team were extremely helpful and upon arrival I was greeted by Andy who was very helpful in finding the best slab based on my criteria.

Their knowladge and timber selection far exceeded my expectations and I will definatley be using the excellent company again without hesitation.

I hope this review helps others pick up the phone to make a well worth visit.

Thanks Vastern and thank alot Andy

By far best timber supplier I've had the pleasure of purchasing from. From initial email enquiry to selection and pick up was a doddle. Transparent pricing, great value for such quality timber. Wolf is a total dude, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly.

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 .

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.

No wonder Vastern has so many great reviews. From start to finish they were friendly, helpful, knowledgable and so professional.

I’m building a shed from scratch with minimal DIY experience and cladding it with Larch waney edge shiplap. They’ve helped me through every stage and nothing was to much bother for them.

All the staff are a credit to the business but I have to say that Stefan was exceptional with his customer care throughout the purchasing.

I collected my order and of arrival I was greeted by Andy aka Wolf. What a guy, great customer care, incredible with his forklift skills and a very professional well mannered and a fun character.

As I needed to adjust my payment, I went in to the office, fully masked up of course. There I spoke to Dee who kindly refunded me the difference. Again her and her colleague were very polite and professional but with great personality.

Although Vastern Timber is a 2 hour drive for me, the level of service, the quality of the product, the knowledge provided and the very reasonable pricing all make it very worth it...and there’s also the bonus of dealing with an amazing team whilst you’re there.

Top job Vastern, it was an absolute pleasure!!!

Graham A.

Looked after today by Wolf who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It was good to have his advice and great customer service.

Will T.

i, I came to your yard yesterday to purchase some waney edge ash on appointment. I wanted to let you all know what a helpful, friendly experience it was, especially Wolf for his patience and commitment to customer satisfaction. I usually go to English woodlands timber, but I'll be using Vastern from now on! Thanks again,
kind regards Will Tyers (Wills Workshop Van conversions)

Sam W.

Always a great experience at Vastern. Prices are reasonable considering the quality is so good, and the staff are all very helpful & knowledgeable, even dealing with small quantity orders. Special shout out to Wolf, he's bloody brilliant. Always happy to help dig to the bottom of a pile to find the perfect boards for the job, and he's got a proper interest in timber and woodworking.

Peter R.

Great British family business at its best. Helpful, knowledgeable and professional staff. If you want to source specialist timbers of all types look no further. If they haven’t got it, they can get it. A wood lovers paradise!

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.

Bought some wood for a shelf from Vastern Timbers and had a great experience. Wolf was incredibly helpful—he found the perfect piece for our needs and got it ready quickly. Excellent service and really knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Paul G.

The staff and products at Vastern Timber are top quality. I use these guys for all my timber and would highly recommend them for their knowledge, service and product quality and range!

Daniel F.

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.

Paul C.

This company based in Royal Wootton Bassett have yet again proven to be delight to purchase from. Fairly priced Waney Edge timber for my Wood & Resin creations. I have always received excellent service, often at short notice. A big shoutout goes to Wolfy who is such a helpful and cheerful employee Vastern should be proud to have him on their team,always a smile and very patient with me when I’m picking through their stock, which is by far the best I have come across at all the sawmill’s I have visited. This is now my go to source for all my wood stock.
Well done Vastern and Wolfy.
