It'll probably be cheaper from them than from a reclaimed building materials specialist, but it will be pricy from both I expect. It doesn't grow on trees, you know! Good luck.

"Kel Reclaim" is a good local source I never knew of, thank you fish5133! I'll be trying both on Monday.

Gold_Moon OP Smartchild Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 505 Wallasey	Well, "Timber Yard" and "Kel Reclaim" were a total bust! The former didn't have what I needed, and the latter was a small, (closed), yard with mostly wood joists and pallets. This may be trickier than I thought...

Might be worth a phone call to J O'Grady's, pretty sure they don't do wood but they would probably know someone that does. http://www.jogrady.co.uk/contact-us.html The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...
