What species do you work with?
Primarily oak, Douglas Fir, Larch, and ash. We hold stock of all four at the sawmill and can source other species for specific projects. See our full timber species guide for details on each.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Firewood delivery is local — within approximately 30 miles of Welshpool. Timber supply delivery covers a wider regional area. Timber frames and furniture are delivered nationwide by our own team. Contact us for delivery rates to your postcode.
How long does a timber frame take?
From first conversation to frame raising, typically 6–24 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple porch or garden room is at the shorter end. A full house frame with engineering and planning is at the longer end. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the quoting stage.
Can I visit the sawmill?
Yes — you’re welcome to visit. Call ahead so we can make sure someone is available to walk you round. You can see the timber stock, the CNC, the workshop, and choose boards or slabs for your project in person.
Do you supply other joiners and builders?
Yes. We supply sawn timber to trade customers and offer CNC machining as a standalone service. Send us your drawings or CAD files and we’ll cut your components. We also supply timber in standard and custom sections to builders and self-builders.
What’s the difference between green and kiln-dried timber?
Green timber is freshly felled and unseasoned — it still contains its natural moisture. It’s used for structural framing where the timber will dry and season in place. Kiln-dried timber has been dried in a controlled kiln to a low moisture content (typically 8–10%) and is used for furniture, joinery, and interior work where stability matters.

Do I need planning permission for a timber frame?
It depends on the size, location, and use. Many garden rooms and porches fall under permitted development. Extensions and new builds usually require planning. We can advise on what’s likely to apply to your project and support your planning application where needed. Read more: Planning permission for timber frames
Can I buy firewood in small quantities?
Yes. We sell firewood in builders bags, net bags, and 12kg boxes — as well as larger bulk loads. You can order online for delivery or collect from the sawmill.
What is CNC machining?
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It’s a machine that cuts timber to precise specifications from a digital design file. We use our CNC to cut joints for timber frames, dovetails for furniture, moulding profiles for joinery, and to flatten large slabs. It gives us precision and repeatability that hand tools can’t match at scale — while still allowing hand finishing for the final surface.
How do I get a quote?
Call us, email us, or fill in the contact form. Tell us what you’re looking for — even if it’s vague at this stage — and we’ll come back to you with questions, options, and a quote. There’s no charge for initial conversations and no obligation.
