International imports · UK full loads
Global sourcing. Competitive pricing. Generations of experience.
Full containers from overseas sawmills. Full loads from UK producers. Sourced, purchased and supplied by Sykes Timber.
Discuss a direct load
For over 160 years, we have built lasting relationships with sawmills and timber producers in the UK and around the world. Alongside our extensive Warwickshire stockholding, we arrange full-container imports and direct full-load deliveries for customers buying larger volumes.
The timber can travel directly from the producer to you. Sykes remains your supplier: we purchase the timber, invoice you directly and support the order throughout.
01 / International timber imports
Our established overseas relationships give customers access to full-container shipments of hardwoods and softwoods, with competitive direct-import pricing.
We agree the species, grades, dimensions and quantities with you, manage purchasing with the supplier, and coordinate shipping and logistics. You deal with Sykes rather than managing international procurement yourself.
02 / Domestic full-load supply
We also arrange direct full-load deliveries from sawmills and suppliers throughout the UK. For substantial quantities, this can reduce handling, storage and transport costs.
For an individual project or a regular supply arrangement, we work with you to find a suitable, competitively priced load. The timber does not have to pass through our yard.
