We only use fresh grown timber from the Forestry Commission sustainable forests.

This policy ensures that false or illegal harvesting is prevented when we source the timber for you, the customer. In addition we will only buy timber from certified sources also. Our wood comes from sustainable forests, and this is helping to preserve the equilibrium for our environment.
