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

Online ordering was clear

Online ordering was clear and delivery target exceeded
In the end arrived earlier than initially promised.

Driver called me and we arranged to put load on street directly outside of house. After a tough week finishing off the job looks great.

Only issue was with 2 of the 32 sleepers being well below what I expected for grade 2. Have found a home for them but not on the intended job.

Couldn't fault

Bought from UK Timber a few times for a DIY renovation and couldn't fault them, they had advised me of my delivery with plenty of notice and I'm walking away knowing hell of a lot more than I did coming into the project.

Lovely oak

As a joiner, I have been working with timber and building structures for quite some time…

I must say, the THA Oak I received and had delivered was bloody gorgeous!

Hats off to the sawyer. He clearly knows what he’s doing

UK timber manufactured our bespoke doors, wall units, ottomans and also our staircase. We have always been extremely satisfied with the quality of their products and their ability to create quality oak furniture from the ideas we provide.

I was looking for some cladding for a garden room and UK Timber were offering a good selection of materials and styles to choose from. The sales team were helpful in advising an affordable option and delivery times were very reasonable. I have recommended them to friends and family looking for timber.

A lot of delay in delivery - NOT RECOMENDED

However it was agreed a month before delivery date and the payment was done 2 weeks before expectation of delivery the company fail delivered it on time. Moreover it was a week (6 days) delays. If you need delivery on time it is HIGHLY NOT RECOMENDED company. My company lost a lot of income due to them delays. However I asked for any compensation I received negative feedback

Incompetent production management

Will, Mike and Anastasia were very patient and informative, transport did their best but were constantly being let down buy production management.
I think it's now 5 weeks since I expected my order to be delivered within 10 days as promised, with a number of promised deliveries being cancelled at last minute.
This incompetence has cost me my guys who have moved on to other jobs as there was no work to be done for a good portion of this 5 weeks and my job still does not have a roof as I'm trying to finish the job on my own whilst still waiting for the final delivery.

Excellent & friendly service and very quick delivery. Having seen some of the previous reviews from some time ago I was a bit unsure about placing the order but my fears were unfounded. I cannot fault the efficient service and what’s more the delivery driver actually positioned the pallets in my garage.

Told my order would be a few days

Told my order would be a few days, it took over 2 weeks, and the end product of having planed sleepers wasn't worth the wait

Good Morning David,

We do apologise for the delay that you had faced on your order and I'm sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the finish of the sleepers. If you haven't already, please can you send over photos of the unsatisfactory finish to sales@uk-timber.co.uk so we can take a look into this for you.

Kind Regards,
UK Timber

Good Morning Mr & Mrs Galloway,

Our collection lead times are up to 5-7 working days as advertised, which does not include weekends and bank holidays. I can see your order was ready and collected within 5 working days. Whilst we appreciate this may not be as speedy as expected, we are currently in our busy period and are working through all orders as quickly and efficiently as we can.

Kind Regards,
UK Timber

Honestly - absolutely rubbish

Honestly a shame. I’m a trade customer and never experienced such a load of waffle! I will stay away in future. Customer service is appalling. 6 weeks waiting for an order, I call, and every time I’m told I will call back with an update. That’s 8 times now and nothing. 4 failed delivery dates. £3000 later, still nothing and not even an apology.. and… all staff are the same. They do not offer solutions or apologies.

Good Morning Sam,

Please could you email paula@uk-timber.co.uk so that I can take a look into this for you directly, there are no details under your review for me to check your order for you. I do apologise for the delay in your delivery and completion of the order and the lack of communication on our behalf, this is not the kind of service we strive to provide to our customers. If you send over an email, I will be happy to help and get this rectified.

Kind Regards,
UK Timber
