A note on what’s changing this month
For nearly two years we’ve held our prices steady.
We always aim to keep pricing fair, stable and predictable — especially for those of you who buy from us regularly.
Over that time, however, our core costs have risen significantly.
Electricity charges, minimum wage increases and changes to national insurance have all had a real impact on the cost of running the mill and the shop.
As a result, some of our products have seen a price increase this month.
We haven’t taken this decision lightly. We’ve absorbed as much as we can, for as long as we can. But to continue investing in the yard, the machinery, and the people who work here — and to keep producing high-quality Scottish timber — we need to adjust where necessary.
Introducing Yard Grade
Not every project needs premium timber.
We have a good volume of stock in the yard that has naturally weathered over time. Structurally it is perfectly sound — it may simply have taken on a silver-grey tone or carry the marks of being outdoors.
We’re formalising this as Yard Grade.
It’s a more affordable option for projects where appearance isn’t critical — sheds, agricultural buildings, hidden structure, or cladding that will weather anyway.
Same home-grown timber.
More accessible price.
This helps us keep timber moving and ensures more Scottish-grown boards find a use, rather than sitting in the yard.
If Yard Grade could suit your project, call into the mill during working hours with your cut list and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Framing & Post and Beam – Some Prices Reduced
Not everything is going up.
Through improvements in efficiency and workflow in the mill, we’ve reduced the cost of producing some of our standard grade framing and post and beam sections.
Where we can improve, we pass those savings on.
Why we’re sharing this openly
We’d rather explain changes clearly than quietly adjust numbers on a price list.
Our aim remains the same:
- Keep pricing fair
- Keep quality high
- Keep Scottish timber moving
If you’re unsure which grade best suits your project, just ask — we’re always happy to talk it through.
