List your business

Hawksbury Timber lists good independent sawmills, merchants and timber specialists, free. People reading the site are planning a job and about to buy timber, and your listing sits next to the species you stock.

Fill this in and I’ll check it over and put it live. No card, no contract, no commission.

Who the directory is for

Independent yards, sawmills and timber specialists, and makers. Owner-run businesses that people who make things would happily drive out to.

We don’t list national chains or their branches, and they can’t pay for a place.

The business

What you offer

What you stock or make, what you’re known for, who you sell to. Plain English is best.

The rest of your listing is optional

Everything below appears on your listing. Tap a section to open it. Fill in as much as you like now, or add it later from your listing page.

If you make things from timber makers only

Choose “Maker” as your kind of business above. People can ask you for a quote from your listing, and it comes straight to you. Hawksbury takes no commission.

e.g. “Oak dining tables, chopping boards and fitted alcove shelving.” One line per kind of thing is fine.

Optional. e.g. “Chopping boards from £45, tables from £1,200.” A rough guide helps people know if you’re right for the job.

Optional. e.g. “Usually 6 to 8 weeks.”

Tick if merchants and sawmills may message you through your listing about the timber they sell. Leave it unticked and your form is for commissions only.

Where do you buy your timber?

Tick the yards you buy from. Your name shows on their listing under “Makers who buy here”. Yours not listed? Tell them about Hawksbury: it’s free to list.
