Our retail yard is really the working hub of our activity. Our workshop, office and yard are
based here and it is where our collected timber is processed (ie de-nailed, de-screwed etc),
sorted (by quality, size and type) and stacked ready for sale to our customers or used for
manufacturing other products.
We aim to sell on our timber to builders or members of the public at a much reduced rate
than they would pay for new timber plus, of course, it saves sending it to landfill and
spoiling the environment.
Subject to availability, we stock timber in all kinds of sizes from 1" x 1" to 8" x 2".
This can either be treated or untreated timber. We also sell plywood, MDF, chipboard, chip
and oak flooring (including tongue and groove), hardwood decking (anti-slip and treated),
scaffolding plank timber and, occasionally even wooden railway sleepers, although they are
rare and we often use them in our workshop for making benches and other items. Floorboards
are also something which are in high demand so checking before coming to the yard would be
advisable. We have even started stocking timber of a much larger size too. Again,
availability on this can vary so please check with us first, or bear it in mind when
visiting us.
Once the timber has been processed, graded and stored, any timber remaining which isn't of
re-saleable value (contaminated in some way or just totally unsuitable for re-use), we take
it to a timber processing plant in the local vacinity where it is pulped and re-sold to
other timber manufacturers who will make it into oriented strand board, chipboard, MDF or
similar products. Again this saves the waste wood being sent to landfill and enables it to
be recycled back into a useful product.
If a customer is looking for a quantity or size of timber which we don't have in our main
yard, there is the possiblity that we may have it in stock in one of our other
storage facilities so a customer's first action would be to come and visit the yard and have
a look around to see what we have in stock here and if anything is required which isn't
here, just ask and even if we don't have any, we can advise you when or if we are likely to
be able to get it - or not, as the case may be, in which case we will do our best to advise
you where you can get it.
Please note that we are open from Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 5pm.
Williams Road is off Hyde Road between the side of Belle View Station and BCS (British Car
Spares) old unit on the corner. From the city end of Hyde Road it is the immediate first
turning on the right past the station and, consequently, if coming from the Ashton side of
Manchester, it is the first turning left immediately past BCS's old site (they have now
moved to Victoria Mill at the other end of Williams Road) and we are about 60 yards
approximately down on the left hand side. There is a large sign on the wall outside and we
are the first unit inside on the right hand side. We look forward to seeing you soon.
