Let's face it, visiting a timber merchant for the first time can be terrifying. How does it work? What do you do? Where do you go? So many questions have to be found out the hard way.
In this series, I am going to settle that confusion. I am going to be visiting various timber merchants around the UK in order to get a broad view as to how they all work, what to expect, and how to go about purchasing timber.
This will allow you to fully prepare yourself before visiting a timber merchant, and make informed decisions while you are there.
In this video, we are visiting Surrey Timbers who are located just below Guildford. This is my favourite timber merchant for spectacular one-off pieces and is the perfect starting point for someone who is intimidated by timber merchants. Brad was kind enough to give me a tout and show what they stock, what they offer, and what to do when you get there.

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this KZfaq thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on KZfaq and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:
