MERTON TIMBER SERVICES

Delivery
We will deliver free of charge in our delivery area, subject to an order for an economic quantity. Our normal delivery area extends to Greater London & parts of Surrey, Kent, East & West Sussex, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. Note that we do not currently charge extra for deliveries in Central London where the Congestion Charge applies, but will keep this under review.

Several of our vehicles are fitted with cranes for unloading of bulk materials at site, although deliveries to site are ‘kerbside only’ to comply with insurance requirements.

If you wish to collect from one of our branches, a collection discount may apply – ask one of our sales teams for details.

Timber Services
Treatment, Grading, Cutting & Machining
At our Crawley branch we can carry out pressure treatment, grading & cutting to order. All our branches have access to these services & machining of both softwood & hardwood species to customer’s special pattern can be arranged.
Chain of Custody (CoC)
Merton Timber is committed to only purchasing Timber and Timber Panel Products that have been logged legally. Forest owners can prove good management by applying the principals of one of the accepted Forest Certification Schemes. The two schemes that are most well known in the UK are the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification schemes.
For any Certification scheme to work there has to be a Chain of Custody established between the forest and the final customer. This enables finished products to be traced right back to the area of forest from which they were logged. Without this audited CoC, it cannot be established that the products we sell originate in well-managed forests and therefore the scheme would be valueless.
For any company within the supply chain to sell Certified Timber, they have to be able to follow a paper trail back up the supply chain.
Increasingly our customers are demanding Certified Timber and Timber Products. In the main this is driven by Government procurement policy, which demands contractors demonstrate they are Ethical Purchasers and care for the environment. Government legislation is also becoming increasingly tough and organisations like Greenpeace are becoming increasingly active, therefore it is inevitable that the demand for Certified Timber will increase.
A method of CoC certification for our branches has been developed - Mitcham was our first branch to achieve this & has been joined by Crawley & Orpington. This is the only way that Merton Timber believes it can truly demonstrate its commitment to selling Certified Timber to its customers. We have invested in inkjet markers, which are designed to individually mark each piece of machined timber and we will colour end-mark carcassing to enable its traceability. Other products we stock that are certified include MDF, OSB and chipboard, sawn and machined softwood and British produced softwood from selected manufacturers.

Estimating - "Quanti-Quote"
If you have detailed architect's drawings for an extension or other building project, we can arrange for the detailed material requirements - joists, bricks, blocks, skirtings, etc. - to be estimated. There is a charge for this service which varies according to the size of the project - our sales team will advise you when drawings are submitted. The list of materials required takes approximately 7-10 days to be returned.
We can quote prices for a list of materials or you can use the on-line pricing for materials we normally hold in stock. The cost of this service is refundable if an order for £500 or more (excluding VAT) is placed with us.
