Can anyone recommend a good value retailer in central belt / accessible to argyll please. Looking for Larch or Douglas fir, need a trustworthy source as don't have the experience to know if quality is as it should be.

 

Thank you.

Ali Johnston Ltd, trading as Timber Central based in Nairn (NE Scotland).  But go to England etc.  They are on facebook.

 

All my Scottish larch came from them, good delivery, price etc. Very flexible on profiles and lengths.  They do Douglas Fir and larch.

We used Caledonia Timber for larch. Customer service was good but some of the boards a fair wee bit off straight. They can do Douglas Fir cut to size up to 6/7m lengths which might be a good option. I know others recommend International Timber but they just put us onto Jewsons (which was priced reasonably competitively).

That must have been very recent as I had gate posts from them not long ago

Thanks, I will look at them, and Jewsons.

Argyll. Could reach central belt, Inverness etc easy enough.

Could collect in an Ifor Williams trailer

Our recent timber purchase was heavily researched. Best price Caley Timber at Inverness Airport   and they don't mill their own. I think they deliver anywhere in the Highlands.
