Local business, great service!

We used Atlantic Timber a lot during our house renovation. We are DIY enthusiasts and we did a lot of work ourselves so we found the advice and expertise of the staff there invaluable. Special thanks to Martin for going above and beyond and helping us to work out what we need and making enquiries with the suppliers on our behalf.
They have all you need and if they don’t they will tell you where to find it. Highly recommended 😊

Atlantic timber is a great timber yard

the customer service at Atlantic timber is superb.
All the staff are extremely friendly and approachable and they all have extremely good product knowledge.

The machining from guys in the workshop is outstanding , both in the accuracy of the cuts and in the quality of the sheet materials they stock. I would highly recommend Atlantic Timber to other woodworkers, especially to those who want everything cut to size, so they can just, collect it , take it onsite and its all ready to assemble.

Great product, great service

I needed cut MDF sheets for a DIY project. I went into the shop, placed the order with ease and took delivery a few days later on the agreed day. All in all - a great service - will use these guys again.

We have dealt with Atlantic Timber for many years now. They have always been really great to deal with and really approachable. We build high end narrowboats and we cant use substandard products. This is why we have been a customer of theirs for a long time.
Keep up the good work. We love supporting local :-)

Great company to work with

Great company to work with, we are a main construction contractor and Atlantic Timber have always supported us, provided great customer service and at great prices. We have many years of a trading relationship which we are grateful for. Nothing is too big, small or trouble to them, this can range from the standard materials to any bespoke work.

Amazing Service & Products

We use Atlantic Timber regularly for our Business and have done for over 10 years! All quotes are responded to efficiently and delivery times / dates are always met (even if we give them very short notice). Martin and his team are always very helpful and nothing is too much to ask - if they don't stock an item, they always offer to source the item for us if they can!
Continue doing what you're doing guys!

Rubbish Product

Customer service ok - Product Rubbish!

Timber supplied really sub-standard. Decorative mouldings with chunks missing due the knots. Split timber. Crazy amount of waste.

I placed an order 27th Sept and the expected delivery date given was 30th/3rd Oct. Past that date I received notification that it will be 4th/6th Oct and if I still didn't receive it I can request an refund, I followed that process to then received a message from Atlantic that my goods were received on the 28th Oct. What total rubbish, apparently DX Freight sent them a picture, I live in a block of flats top floor and it operates an intercom system, the picture was clearly not my address. How can they treat customers like this, I would like my refund of £74.64

First Class Atlantic Timber

Martin and his team have given us a brilliant and excellent service for all our extension requirements.

I would highly recommend Martin and Atlantic Timber to anyone who requires a first class company.

Excellent Service

Ordered on a Friday had email correspondence regarding delivery almost immediately after I placed the order and had a phone call to confirm my cutting requirement. Order dispatched on the following Monday and received the next day.
Excellent service, I have no hesitation about recommending them.

Poor service, poor attitude

If you want service then being female appears to work.. for anything else you'll get a long wait, dismissive staff and a large bill. Without doubt the most horrendous company to deal with, they really hate customers. Ended up driving to B & Q 12 miles away who cut and supplied the wood in 15 minutes for half the price

One man in particular is so rude and a lady who was in the shop at the same time as me was saying he had just been rude to her too. We actually believe he does not like women. His measuring was hilarious and tried to say it was correct. I had to put him on the phone to my husband who corrected him. He had to go through the measurements that needed cutting. A complete joke! Not a friendly place at all and has gone down hill.

Good quality, good price and quick

Ordered cornice for kitchen. Kept up to date every step of the way. Super quick processing and delivery of the order. Wood quality much better than DIY stores and, best of all, it's cheaper! Would recommend (no pun intended!).
