Hi All I'm looking for a timber merchant around the Reading area for a small project. Mostly 8' lengths of 2"x2", 2"x3" and 2"x4" (about 50 lengths in total). We have a Wickes and B&Q but surely there must be something better (cheaper). An online presence would be good so I can have a quick price check before Monday. Is timberclick.com a good a good portal to a local supplier? Ta.

Round here, we have: Travis Perkins, Champion, Chandlers, Alsford.
Maybe too far and I have no idea about current prices, but you could try:

In my experience it is delivered by Travis Perkins, but at a vastly lower price than you'd have to pay them. Quality is certainly better than Wickes and B&Q.

Thanks. I forgot about TP who are just down the road.
Thanks. We appear to be in their area so will check them out.
A better price than Wickes too. Bookmarked, thanks.
Ta for the link.
Dad used to use Woods Yard, Walthan St Lawence, many years ago. A google search doesn't turn up much, except they used to have

which no longer exists, which doesn't bode well, but you could try the number 0118 934 3676.
Go to Jewsons ... they can give a good price, need to be convinced how much discount to apply but they have a large room to manoeuvre
