J Gards & Sons Ltd
Timber Specialists
At J Gard & Sons Ltd, we supply top-grade Oak hardwood machined to your exact specifications. Unlike softwoods we keep in stock, our hardwoods - including European Oak - are machined to order due to the vast range of sizes and finishes we can produce on-site.
Whether you’re a joiner, furniture maker, builder, or DIY enthusiast, our oak is perfect for bespoke projects requiring strength, durability and a premium natural finish.
Please note: All prices are subject to VAT.
We supply full lengths only (which can then be machined or cross-cut to size):
1.2m | 1.5m | 1.8m | 2.1m | 2.4m | 2.7m | 3.0m | 3.3m | 3.6m
Longer lengths can sometimes be sourced on request – please enquire for availability.
Boards 175mm and wider are subject to availability.
A 25% surcharge applies to boards over 200mm wide.
A 15% discount is available if boards are taken in the sawn state.
(Prices are per metre, ex VAT. Machining to size included.)
