Structural Oak
Green or air dried oak, part of our building industry for centuries. Renowned for its great strength and durability its the natural choice for timber framed buildings and construction. We stock good supplies of structural oak and cut to your exact specifications
Joinery
We buy only best quality joinery oak from sustainable forests in Britain and Europe. The key is to start with a large diameter, slow grown log, with clean straight grain. After thoroughly air drying the timber is kilned and graded. Hand selected to meet individual requirements we hold large stocks of joinery timber available for immediate sale.
Cladding
Timber cladding is natural, durable and stable and there are several suitable species. We stock hardwoods such as oak, ash, elm and sweet chestnut, in addition to softwoods such as larch, Douglas fir and cedar. Supplying finished products for both internal and external cladding, either feather edged, natural edged or a profile to suit.
Kitchens
For a kitchen that is not only functional and stylish consider a solid hardwood such as oak ash or elm for worktops and cabinetry. Or if looking for painted cabinetry, sycamore is a fabulous option as it takes paints and finishes exceptionally well. Built to last and evoking warmth and a natural beauty a solid wood kitchen simply cannot be surpassed.

OUR FEEDBACK
Sutton Timber was a really fortunate find after starting an online search for “light coloured engineering wood flooring” (I knew I didn’t want oak!). When the sample of ash flooring arrived it immediately exceeded the quality of the other engineering woods……

Used Sutton Timber’s first grade solid English oak in my three reception rooms, two cupboards, hall, stairs, landing and bedroom. My floor fitter said it was the best oak in England and it is hard to believe anything else.
