Ashwells is a treasure trove of reclaimed timber, and well worth a visit to the yard for inspiration! They supplied us reclaimed timber for show gardens at RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court and were very helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable, able to advise and input on the most suitable timber to achieve the aesthetic and performance we needed.
Throughout my time working with Ashwells timber, I have witnessed the tremendous effort and recognition that they have put into promoting the use of reclaimed timber. Their dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed, and they have gone from strength to strength. I have no doubt that they will continue to thrive, and I look forward to seeing all the incredible things they will achieve in the future.
The reclaimed timber they endeavour to find and supply is not only beautiful but also has a rich history and unique character that adds a touch of authenticity to each and every project. They sourced and supplied reclaimed timber for our 2019 and 2022 gold medal winning Chelsea Flower Show Gardens. Their commitment to sustainability and quality is truly outstanding.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the Tutt family and Ashwells’ for nearly three decades. Their dedication to the sustainable re-use of wood in all forms is second to none, so there really is no one else in the UK that I would talk to about reclaimed wood.
Ashwells are a shining example of a creative, kind, amazing and productive business. We are so proud that they are a Thames Estuary Growth Board Visionary and we look forward to continued mutual support and collaboration over the years to come.
Ashwells understood and matched all of the requirements set out in the design and in the Environment Agency procurement guidelines. And, was able to profile and drill the fenders within a short time frame, that could not be matched by other sawmills.
Ashwells has provided timber for many private and public garden projects over the years. I love the robust aesthetic of reclaimed wood. It’s a joy to use timbers saved from landfill knowing that they will hold healthy soil, fruit, veg and flowers for generations into the future.
Individual service we received is excellent. Professional, super organised and patient with our many requests and phone calls. All our needs were met from size, delivery, and the weird shapes that we were looking for.
Absolute gold mine of a timber yard. It’s an amazing local resource for interesting and unusual wood materials for any creative out there that want to make something a bit different.
