European Oak Beams

We are one of the few timber merchants in the UK carrying large stocks of European oak beams both fresh sawn and air dried. This helps to achieve a quick turnaround for standard sizes. A working lifetimes experience has given us a thorough knowledge of the different methods of sawing and production and the end use of our products. Venables oak is popular with self builders and with timber framed building specialists alike.

From Fresh sawn European oak for a new build to air dried European oak for a complex restoration project, we offer a complete advisory service on any issue.

Please note timber may be supplied overlength to be end trimmed on site.

Surface checking, shrinkage and some face splitting will occur during the natural drying process of the timber.

Some blue black staining may occur on the Oak when it has been in contact with ironwork, along with water staining which can be removed with recommended cleaning agent.

Tannin leach may arise from the fresh sawn Oak; stain protection may be required on susceptible areas.

 Please note that it is the customers responsibility to assure there are means of off-loading equipment on site.

We can arrange hi-abs if this would be more convenient for you at an extra cost, please call the office if this is the case.

Please note we have a minimum order of £500.00 to order online. 

If your order comes to less than this, please call the office.
