Timber fabrication

Beams and components prepared for assembly.

From a single component to a kit for a roof, canopy or pergola, we supply solid timber and glulam with the machining specified in the project.

We agree how much preparation to complete, based on the work you want to carry out on site.

From component to structure

How would you like the timber prepared?

Work completed in the workshop reduces what needs to be done on site. You can request machined components, an assembly kit or preassembled sections where the design allows.

Machined components

Beams and scantlings cut to size, with holes, joints and shaped details to the drawing. Useful when you only need part of a structure prepared.

Assembly kits

Preassembled sections

To reduce the connections that need to be made on site, we can assemble some components before delivery. This is assessed alongside dimensions, transport and installation.

The timber surface

Planing and treatment to suit the job.

Planing evens out the surfaces and brings components to the agreed dimensions. If the timber will remain visible, we also agree the desired appearance.

You can also request wood treatment. The product and application process need to suit the intended use and exposure.

Getting started

Show us what you want to build.

We start with the drawings and information you already have, then help you complete the details needed to assess the enquiry.

Type of structure, intended use, dimensions and town where the site is located.
The components
Species, solid timber or glulam, cross sections, lengths and quantities, if already decided.
The work required
Machining, finish and level of preparation. Tell us if you also need transport, unloading or installation.
What we agree in the quotation

Included operations, work to complete on site, tolerances, finishes and timing. Feasibility depends on the material, geometry and project documentation.

Transport, unloading and installation are assessed for each job, taking site access and component handling into account.

Structural matters require checks by a qualified professional. This website does not perform calculations or replace the project design.
