Timber Machining & Bespoke Profiles
Nottage Timber Merchants provides in-house timber machining for trade and retail customers, producing consistent, repeatable mouldings, profiles, and dimensional timber. From skirting boards and architrave to staircase components and window repair parts, we machine softwoods, hardwoods and selected engineered timbers using specialist multi-head spindle moulders.
What We Can Produce
Our machining team has access to 300+ custom-made profile cutters built up over many years. Using specialised equipment, we can produce a wide range of machined timber goods for renovation, new build, heritage work and repeat supply.

300+ Profile Cutters (Catalogue In Progress)
We’re currently digitising our full cutter library to build a complete profile catalogue. Until that’s finished, the quickest way to confirm availability and lead times is to contact our team with your requirements. If you’re matching an existing profile, a clear photo and measurements (or a physical sample) helps us advise quickly.
Machining FAQs
Can you match an existing skirting or architrave?
In many cases, yes. If you can provide a clear photo with measurements or a physical sample, we can advise whether a match is possible and the best route to achieve it.
Do you machine for trade customers?
Yes — we support trade and professional customers with repeat supply and consistent runs of profiles and components.
What sizes and timber types can you machine?
We machine softwoods, hardwoods and selected engineered timbers. Suitability depends on the profile, finished size and use-case, so we’ll confirm this when quoting.
Do I need to choose a profile online?
Not necessarily. We’re digitising our catalogue, but the fastest option is to contact us with your requirements for advice and a quote.
