Growing Demand for Glulams

More buidlings seem to be requiring glulams, Glued Laminated Timber glulams. They are manufactured by bonding together individual laminations of solid timber. This produces a timber cross-section that is larger and longer than may normally be obtained simply by machining a standard log. Glulam products are readily available, extremely reliable and flexible in design.

Autumn is creeping in, the chimeras, log fires and burners are ready for action, but are your logs stored neat and tidy?  At Southern Timber we have options for you - Hutton (Devon and Cornwall), Rowlinson Garden Products (free UK Mainland delivery and Forest Garden (free UK Mainland delivery)

Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday 30th September 2022

Having a Coffee Morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause.  One in two of us will face cancer, and the money you help us raise at our Coffee Morning will help people with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

Our colleagues make platefuls of delicious cakes and biscuits topped up with a few savoury treats as well. You can wash your snack down with a cup of tea or coffee as well. We run our Macmillan fundraiser event for as long as we are open on the Friday, that means you will have chance to share something with us from 7.30am onwards.

Although we are based in Devon our flooring deliveries can be made to most Mainland UK addresses. Our Hauliers indicate a 2-5 working day lead time for flooring deliveries in most of England, Scotland and Wales.

Deliveries are dependent on stock availability, but this is normally quite quickly determined.  Stock is normally

Some products that we sell are difficult to purchase elsewhere and give us a price advantage. In the case of HardiePlank and other Hardie products we keep every current colour in stock, but other merchants such as Travis Perkins & Jewsons don’t. Therefore they have to order these specific products in from Hardies (distribution based in Eastleigh, Southampton) with both extra cost implications and longer lead times. Other specialised products that may be viable to send via the Pallet network include bead & butt cladding, pitch pine flooring and Millboard deckboards.

 Delivery lead times

We try to keep all HardiePlank, trims and Hardie VL items in stock.  A typical web order will be between 40 and 200 boards, and we can deliver to most parts of Devon & Cornwall using our own transport. Depending on the total sale value, and delivery location, there may be an associated delivery charge. Delivery is normally made w

Delivery Areas and Charges

Most of our deliveries are made free of charge, but inevitably some deliveries will incur a modest delivery charge of £18 or £30.  We operate a zonal delivery service and deliver to most local areas five times a week. Post Codes for deliveries are essential, any other additional directions are also welcomed. While our main delivery area is the South West of England we also deliver via a Pallet network, prices starting at £147.20 including VAT.  More details can be found on our Delivery Areas page.
