Additionally our stunning selection of staircases are crafted in Oak, Sapele, or Pine are hand crafted, to the highest standards and come with excellent reputation. All of our manufactured joinery comes CE marked. All windows come with a UV-value certificate. They are part Q and PAS24 compliant and we are members of the British Woodworking Federation.
Services
Empsons brings you the broadest and most comprehensive range of softwood species and grades to cover all your timber requirements. A core range of softwoods are held in stock. As well as standard products, bespoke requirements are our specialty, with machining, grading and treatment facilities.
Hardwood is naturally more durable as it comes from slow-growing, broad-leaved trees, which means the timber has a higher density than softwoods. In more temperate climates, hardwoods tend to be mostly deciduous, while in the tropics and subtropics they are mostly evergreen. Hardwoods are suitable for a large range of applications including; construction, joinery and decking.
Classic or contemporary our fantastic doors and windows won't disappoint with a range innovative designs there is something for every taste and budget. Whether you're choosing joinery items as part of your kitchen refit or simply improving your home, rest assured that everything we supply meets the highest quality standards and complies with the latest Building Regulations in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency, security and safety.

My brother tried to place an order for timber with Empsons could get no answer, when he did get brought told to ring back after lunch - no answer. Left a message asking for a ring back to place an order - no response. I then sent an email with the order no response. Rang them and was told person who dealt with emails was on,leave but it would be checked and they would get back to me - they didn’t. I suggest Howarths answered the phone took the order and delivered it.

There is no yard for tipping or loading. You do it by moving your truck from side to side.
