After over 100 years manufacturing timber products in our workshop, we've learned something that most homeowners don't realise – solid oak doors make a measurable difference to how warm your house feels. Not the hollow core doors from DIY stores. Not even solid pine. Proper, heavyweight oak doors that we've been crafting in the UK for decades
The short version? Paint your walls first, then the skirting. But like most things in our trade, the devil's in the detail!
A typical landscaping screw has a polymer and/or ceramic coating that can withstand the weather in Britain longer than standard zinc galvanising. We've pulled apart old timber decking where standard screws have corroded after 5 years, whilst landscaping screws from the same date are in pristine condition
Choosing the right firewood matters because each type burns, smells, and throws out heat in its own way. By matching wood characteristics to your activity, you get more warmth, spend less time tending the flames, and act responsibly toward future forests
At UK Timber, we are proud to have sponsored the Structural Green Oak that was used to bring the Room to Breathe Hospital Garden to life at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025, with it holding a permanent residence as a healing space at Amersham Hospital.
The British summer has arrived in full force, a lot earlier than expected - with temperatures soaring across the country. For savvy homeowners, a heatwave presents the perfect opportunity to enhance outdoor living spaces. With just a few thoughtful additions of quality timber products, any garden can be transformed into a delightful retreat for enjoying the sunshine – no matter how long it lasts!
The height of the fence, the terrain's soil composition as well as the amount of frost are just a few of the considerations that need to be made when thinking about the depth of the fence post. Choosing the right way to set the post also brings with it different options. Many property owners underestimate the importance of proper post installation, leading to sagging, leaning or completely collapsed fencing within just a few years
Modern skirting applications achieve their best results through combinations of modern design principles with necessary functionality requirements. Research indicates that skirting profiles between 80-100mm stand as the most adaptable choice since they work well for buildings that contain timber elements both inside and outdoors.
Energy costs have dramatically increased during the past three years and show no signs of decreasing soon. With that in mind, every bit of insulation matters. Solid wood doors contribute significantly to the energy efficiency of your home than most homeowners realise.
At UK Timber, our stance on this is loud and clear! It's no secret that Oak Worktops have much to offer aesthetically. Sure, there are many benefits, but there is also the need for regular maintenance. While other like materials might resemble Oak worktops, there’s no comparison when it comes to the beauty, practicality and longevity they offer.
