The cheapest timber quote isn’t always the best value.

When comparing timber prices, it’s important to look beyond the headline number. Differences in grades, treatment, delivery terms, machining, lead times and service can all affect the true cost of supply — especially once your project is live.

Our latest guide explains what builders, contractors and buyers should really check when comparing timber quotes, including:

✔️ Whether you’re comparing like-for-like products
✔️ Delivery terms, logistics and lead times
✔️ What’s included, excluded or assumed
✔️ The risk of substitutions or specification issues
✔️ Why service and communication matter just as much as price

Because a slightly cheaper quote can quickly become more expensive if it causes delays, reordering or wasted labour on site.

Need timber fast? The key isn’t just speed — it’s clarity.

Delays on urgent orders often start before delivery is even planned. Missing sizes, unclear quantities, or no site access details can slow everything down.

Our latest guide explains how to get a fast timber quote and delivery sorted quickly, including:

✔️ What information to include from the start
✔️ Why product detail, sizes and quantities matter
✔️ The importance of postcode, timing and access notes
✔️ How to avoid back-and-forth delays

The more complete your enquiry, the faster we can quote, check availability and arrange delivery that works for your site.

Not sure if your timber needs to be treated? You’re not alone — and getting it wrong can lead to costly issues later.

When timber is exposed to moisture, ground contact or external conditions, treatment can be essential for durability and long-term performance.

Our latest guide explains:

✔️ What treated timber is (and what it actually does)
✔️ What Tanalith E is and why it’s widely used
✔️ When treated timber is required — and when it’s not
✔️ Common mistakes to avoid when specifying timber

The key is simple: match the timber to the environment. Over-specifying can increase costs, while under-specifying can lead to failure.

With expert advice and a wide range of treated and untreated options, South London Timber helps you get it right first time.
