I'm not sure how easy it is to review what is essentially a timber yard (nice chippings? Lovely…read moresawdust?? Wonderful sawing technique???) but I have actually popped in here a couple of times and always found the staff to be such sweeties that I thought I would give it a go. Tucked away between houses on Northfield Road this is a building supply company that specialises in wood and timber. I've been in before to ask about chippings for some misguided (and ultimately doomed) gardening project I had in mind and they let me have a load without even charging me.

These tend to sell the spares and parts that could not get in a B&Q or Focus. The car park is adequate and they even have big trolleys so you can pick up doors, fence panels etc. The prices are not too bad.

I gave Hawkes Timber a try and was really impressed with their yard. Most importanlty they were a fair bit cheaper than the chain stores. No more B and Q for me!
