Mostly I’m pleased but I wasn’t expecting size differences of 5mm on timber that has been through a thicknesser. It meant items had to be sorted for matches to build a sleeper wall. Having said that... See more

Easy ordering process and good product
Easy ordering process and good product, delivery was an issue or i mean getting delivery confirmed was, it took 4 calls to finally get delivery confirmed, I know it isnt a major problem but that was it.
All the staff I spoke with were very good, polite and professional the delivery driver was a lovely chap who couldnt do enough for us.
Excellent Service
Everything i ordered was there, staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent service
Poor Service
Despite reading some negative reviews I decided to give UK Timber the benefit of the doubt, however I wish I hadn’t bothered…. I won’t bore you with the details, but just to say I will not be using UK Timber again and I would definitely not recommend them.
Helpful efficient service
Helpful efficient service, delivery date as requested, great value product.
Great service, used for many years
Easy ordering on website, good pallet delivery and very happy with the Kameeldoring and Sekelbos wood purchased.
Absolutely superb sleepers which we used for transforming my client's garden
Responding to the client's desire for a jungle-inspired haven in Brixton, this garden underwent a comprehensive refurbishment. Reclaimed English railway sleepers and you get number delivered perfectly and looking forward to tagging in some photos

Sleepers
The delivery drivers were helpful, friendly and very approachable. The sleepers are good quality timber, look amazing in my garden and worth every penny. Very, very pleased with them. Would highly recommend this company. Will definitely buy from there again. Many thanks

I required 3 lengths of planed timber…
I required 3 lengths of planed timber for a garage door frame. They supplied 4 lengths as one was slightly bent. The extra one was totally unusable as badly twisted, and the bent one warped out of shape both ways after 2 days on my garage floor, rendering it also unusable. I didn't bother contacting them as I am 30 miles from the sawmill, so I got a replacement from another company. I will NOT be using UK Timber again, as I expect a reputable company to get it right FIRST time, not spend over £80 on 50% unusable timber. Please yourselves if you deal with them, but if you do - CHECK IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE !!
Excellent product and great service

Wrong items sent.
I ordered untreated/unbanded scaffold boards because they were to be used for a vegetable bed. I received treated framing boards (one of which was the wrong size). I was not contacted to see if I wanted what was delivered (which I don't) and I am still waiting for the original boards to be delivered and the unwanted ones taken away.

Very satisfied with bulk orders of heat logs
Have bought bulk bags of heat logs from UK Timber for years. Always competitively priced and the shipping company they use go out of their way to deliver exactly where I need the orders left. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service from Chris and Anastasija at UK Timber today! Thanks again.
Not so great so far
So far not great. Placed an order on 30/3, still not received the timber. Called twice, each time were told it will be next week and someone will call but heard nothing. We just need to know when the timber will be delivered so we don’t mess around the trademan again.
Great product, quick delivery.
Ordered a "small" pile of reclaimed oak sleepers and they were soon delivered to my front garden.
A garden trolley/cart made it a lot easier to move them by myself. I am of slim build and not used to manual labour or lifting things at the gym.
Be careful when cutting reclaimed sleepers as most of them come with some metal parts embedded in them. A large circular saw with an appropriate blade is my weapon of choice.
I am using them to make raised beds for ornamental plants. I lined the sides (but not the base) of mine with pond liner material to prolong the life of the sleepers and help retain moisture. I suspect that the creosote treated oak will last for a couple of decades.
If you want to grow edible plants and are worried about creosote, the pond liner will minimise soil contamination. Or you could just buy untreated tropical hardwood sleepers but these are heavier and harder to cut.
A pressure washer, and an angle grinder with a wire brush attachment cleans up the worst of the dirt, tar and creosote. You may still get the odd patch of tar rising to the surfaces on warm days, so don't use these for seating. You will want overalls and a dust mask (ideally a respirator) to do this.
