Vastern Timber

British Hardwood Sawing and Timber Manufacturing Specialists#

Vastern Timber is one of the largest and most established British hardwood sawmills in the United Kingdom. Based in Wiltshire, the company has operated for over 100 years, specializing in the sourcing, cutting, drying, and machining of native-grown hardwoods and softwoods. The business is committed to supporting local forestry and increasing the use of British timber, managing the entire production process from the raw log to the finished product. Their operations focus on sustainability and the management of mixed broadleaf woodlands within the UK.

The company provides an extensive range of building materials, including external timber cladding available in species such as British oak, sweet chestnut, larch, and western red cedar. A key differentiator is their Brimstone range, which features thermally modified British ash, poplar, and sycamore for enhanced durability. Vastern Timber also manufactures hardwood flooring, offering both solid and engineered options in oak, ash, and elm, including the Fyral brand, which is recognized as the first engineered floor made entirely from British-grown timber.

For structural and joinery requirements, the sawmill supplies sawn timber and beams, including green oak, seasoned oak, and Douglas fir. Their inventory includes specialized British species like Pippy Oak, Cedar of Lebanon, and British Elm, suitable for furniture making and bespoke interior projects. Additionally, the company stocks timber decking and precision-crafted mouldings. Vastern Timber serves both commercial and domestic projects, providing technical specifications, NBS information, and showroom consultations to assist with material selection and fitting requirements.
