Structural Timber

Traditional framing methods have been successfully used in the construction of buildings for a millennia. At UK Timber Limited our Sawyers and TRADA Graders have decades of experience between them, enabling us to accommodate almost any request in the shortest time frame across the industry with an eye for both the quality of the material that is being used and the finished product.

We’ve supplied the machined timber for use in many structural applications including 'Grand Designs' projects, historic stately homes and smaller home builds the length and breadth of the UK - Our Customer Projects Gallery will give you an overall view of the services and products that we can offer you.

All of our structural timber is cut on site from both Oak and Douglas Fir, both materials offering their own specific traits; please feel free to contact our knowledgeable Sales Team to discuss which will suit your requirements the best and for advice that you can rely on.

    UK Timber is one of the UK's leading stockists of high quality oak beams and oak boards.

    We operate nationwide, offering both Air-Dried and Fresh Sawn Oak Beams, as well as Fresh Sawn Oak Boards, Air Dried Oak Boards and Kiln-Dried Oak Boards.

    We use Green English/European Oak for our beams and boards, a popular building material throughout England, as it affords great strength and durability, has a high moisture content and offers great resistance to decay whilst requiring no chemical treatments. All of this as well as being maintenance free and eco-friendly.

    Kiln Dried Board Packs

    UK Timber process huge numbers of European Oak trees. Once processed into beams, posts and boards there are a number of various quality boards to be placed into one of our four high capacity hardwood kilns. Here you will find a selection of packs that are measured inside the waney edge on the best face of the board. Our graders will exclude any defects that do not meet the grade selected and measure out one waney edge. The measure is then marked on the board in crayon, each and every board in all the packs listed below are graded and measured in this way. The measure is then listed at the bottom of each pack listing enabling total transparency. Waney edge boards give professional joiners the ability to buy high quality unfinished material at a great price and enable careful selection before further ripping to maximise return from each board. 

    All packs listed below are in stock for immediate delivery or collection.
