Thomson Timber Buildings
and usefulness of your home and garden.
About Us
Before starting Thomson Timber, James was a teacher of Craft Design and Technology.
As he had a passion for real traditionally crafted timber framed buildings - backed up by expertise in the latest Computer Aided Design techniques he decided to combine these ancient and modern skills and set up in business.
He recalls his students complaining that these craft skills were now redundant and that they would more likely end up working with MDF board and using glued biscuit joints in a factory churning out products not designed to last.
Extensive research revealed that there was still a real demand for craft skills today in the form of traditional timber framed buildings.
A sawmill was purchased, trees sourced locally and Thomson Timber began to trade.
Demand has grown over the years and we now design and build garden rooms, BBQ huts, tree houses and home extensions.
A wide range of timber products has also been developed including log stores, mantel shelves and a variety of hard landscaping materials such as rustic fencing and sleepers for raised beds.
However, the most exciting development is the return to teaching but this time with a new passion for relevant learning for both young and old.
We are now running courses in timber framed building for beginners and a more advanced course for the ambitious.
James has completed a number of specialised timber framing courses given by well respected experts in this field.
With the support of a skilled and enthusiastic team Thomson Timber is now looking forward to a secure future serving YOUR needs for timber framed buildings and other products and related services.
