In operation for over 17 years our own dedicated sawmill has a reputation for quality and accuracy no matter how specialised and bespoke your request.

We saw Larch, Douglas Fir, Scots Pine and Oak, fresh-sawn or kiln-dried. When extra durability is necessary we can pressure treat timber a deep brown colour to BS 4072.

Oak Beam Range

Having an in-house expert in P-J MacKintosh allows us to specify and provide heavy-duty oak beams and supports for a vast range of project applications.

Lengths of up to 6m and dimensions of 300 by 300mm are not unusual.

Plato®wood for marine applications

Plato® technology is the next generation of thermally treated timber. Plato®wood has undergone a natural heat treatment process which transforms less durable FSC certified spruce into a category 1 durable timber and improves its dimensional stability.

Plato®wood products use no chemicals in production, and even incorporate environmentally-friendly sourcing of the electricity and steam used in the production process. These features mean that it scores high on EcoHomes points, and it is guaranteed for 15 years for durability and stability.

The Plato®nisation of the timber reduces the hygroscopicity of the timber, that is, its tendency to absorb and release water, making it an excellent material for marine applications.

Plato is widely used in the Dutch canal systems and associated water-related civil engineering applications.

These responsibly sourced boards are an excellent choice for boarded sides of water courses and river banks. These can easily be constructed with round or square posts and heavy section tongue and groove battens. They are also a natural choice for decking in waterside locations.
