At Nottage Timber Merchants, we do more than simply supply timber.

As a working timber merchant and joinery business, we offer a range of practical in-house services designed to help customers save time, reduce waste, and get materials closer to their final required form.

These services are available to both trade and retail customers, subject to suitability and workload.

🪚 Machining Services

Our machining services allow timber to be processed beyond standard stock sizes and profiles.

This includes:

• Sizing timber accurately for joinery or construction use

• Producing consistent sections for repeat work

• Preparing material ready for site or workshop use

Machining is particularly useful for:

• Joinery projects

• Bespoke components

• Repairs and replacements where accuracy matters

If you’re unsure what machining is required, our team can advise.

✂️ Cutting to Size

We offer a cutting service to help reduce handling, transport issues, and on-site work.

Cutting services are ideal for:

• Sheet materials

• Timber lengths that need manageable sizing

• Preparing materials ready for immediate use

Cutting is carried out based on customer-supplied dimensions. While we take care with every cut, cutting tolerances should always be allowed for where absolute precision is required.

📐 Planing & Regularising

Planing removes surface irregularities and brings timber to a more uniform finish.

This service is commonly used to:

• Improve appearance

• Prepare timber for finishing

• Produce smoother, more consistent sections

Planed timber is easier to work with and more predictable, especially where appearance or fit is important.

🪵 Moulding & Profiling

We offer moulding services for customers requiring decorative or functional timber profiles.

This may include:

• Traditional mouldings

• Replacement sections for existing joinery

• Bespoke profiles for one-off or matching work

Moulding services are particularly suited to:

• Period properties

• Joinery repairs

• Heritage-style projects

Please speak to the team to discuss profile options and lead times.

🎨 Spraying & Finishing

Where required, we can arrange spraying and finishing services to help deliver components closer to a completed state.

This can include:

• Priming

• Undercoating

• Factory-style finishes

Spraying services are typically used for joinery components where a consistent, professional finish is required prior to installation.

Availability and suitability depend on the product and finish required.

🛠 Drilling & Preparation

For certain applications, we can provide drilling and preparation services to help speed up installation or assembly.

This may include:

• Pre-drilled holes

• Repetitive drilling patterns

• Preparation for fixings or fittings

These services are particularly useful where consistency is required across multiple components.

🔎 Timber & Product Sourcing

If you can’t find what you need online or in stock, we can often help source timber or related products through our supplier network.

We regularly assist with:

• Non-standard timber sizes

• Specific species or grades

• Special order materials

• Matching existing products

Sourcing services are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may involve lead times depending on availability.

📌 Important Notes

• All services are subject to material suitability and workload

• Lead times may vary depending on the service required

• Some services may incur additional charges

• Not all services are suitable for all products

Our team will always advise clearly before any work is carried out.
