Timber Cladding
Vincent Timber offers durable, high-quality timber cladding in vertical or horizontal applications. Available in species like Cedar, Larch, and Thermowood, our cladding provides aesthetic appeal and weather resistance. Ideal for residential and commercial builds, it combines sustainability with long-term performance. Each product is sourced from managed forests, ensuring environmental responsibility.
Factory Coated Cladding
Our factory-coated cladding uses high-performance water-based acrylic paint for a durable, even finish. The oven-dried coating process enhances longevity, offering 815-year warranties. Available in solid or semi-transparent finishes, it provides low-maintenance protection while preserving the timber's natural beauty. This solution reduces on-site painting time and ensures consistent quality.
Timber Decking
Vincent Timbers decking options include Accoya, Thermowood, and VTX-treated European Redwood. Designed for safety and style, our decking resists wear, moisture, and UV exposure. Available in anti-slip, reversible, and grooved profiles, it suits gardens, rooftops, and commercial spaces. The materials are sustainably sourced, combining durability with eco-friendly benefits.
Louvres
Our timber louvres optimize natural light and ventilation while reducing solar heat gain. Crafted from durable species like Cedar and Accoya, they are ideal for brise-soleil systems, noise reduction, and architectural dividers. Customizable profiles and finishes ensure compatibility with both modern and traditional designs, enhancing energy efficiency and aesthetics.
Commercial Vehicle Flooring
We supply robust flooring solutions for trailers, haulage, and vehicle bodybuilding industries. Products include Keruing, Safodeck, and Rhino Phenolic Plywood, engineered for heavy-duty performance. These materials offer high impact resistance, moisture protection, and compliance with industry standards. Our bonding techniques enhance durability, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Report
Recently tried to obtain Canadian Western Red Cedar for a project and couldn't source it anywhere, I came across Vincent Timber via a LinkedIn request for help. Malcolm Frowen connected and we confirmed the quantities and availability. I was promised a W/E date of 24th September which was proving difficult due to key personnel being absent however, Malcolm and Ann pulled it out of the bag and 07:40 on the 24th my timber arrived. Brilliant service, for a scarce resource!

From start to finish Chris Petty was super helpful and he went back and beyond to advise and help with the order and when waiting for the order and after sales when he did not need to. This was a first time project for me and without Chris it would of made me feel less confident. Massive thank you to Chris.

Chris did an excellent job with my order. I'm not a business customer and therefore had quite a few questions which he answered quickly and with lots of detail at every stage. Before I rang Vincent I had rung approx. 8 other suppliers, all of whom didn't get the business because of poor communication and being busy due to the current situation. I understand from Chris that Vincent is extremely busy as well, but he still took the time to guide me through the quote and order.

A big thank you to Jake, the very talented Julia and the whole team for supporting Gracelands Nursery School. Vincent's donated two large high quality planters for our gardening project. The whole team team have been very friendly and helpful and we are so grateful for them supporting their local community school. The children and staff are very excited to start planting beetroot, lettuce, spring onions and radish. Amazing service.

In fact it is a ZERO. I went in hoping to get some cladding, asked the chap a couple of questions and he suggested that I check the website for any clearance items. Since I only required approx 15 sq m he seemed to switch off and told me that the minimum sale is 500. I could have spent that amount of money if he had showed me anything. I do not understand why the minimum spend is 500. If my bill came to 450 is it still not any good for you? For me personally it is bad luck to turn away customers from your door when they are willing to spend.
