Oak and pine timbers have, quite literally
been the backbone of British buildings
for hundreds of years and to enable this
tradition to continue we stock a fantastic
range of oak and pine beams, salvaged
from barns and other historic buildings. In
some circumstances reclaimed beams are
unsuitable or unavailable, especially where
very long lengths are required. In response
to this CAWARDEN stocks a large range
of air dried oak timbers in standard sizes
which are ideal for most cosmetic and
structural requirements. Beams, Rafters,
Trusses, Joists, Purlins, Wall and Sole Plates
can be supplied from stock.

We have on site our own Re-saw Machine
capable of cutting both reclaimed and
Seasoned Beams up to 300mm wide.
CAWARDEN also has a large Specialist
Joinery Shop capable of producing
customised profiles and shapes to order.

Railway Sleepers
Suitable for a wide variety of projects,
Railway Sleepers are a popular choice due
to their appearance, strength and versatility.

We supply three different types of sleepers:

  • Reclaimed: Full of charm and extremely hard-wearing, these are ideally suited to hardlandscaping projects such as retaining walls, shed bases, driveway edging and raised flower beds.
  • New Softwood: The use of new softwood sleepers is now over-taking reclaimed sleepers in popularity due to their availability, ease of handling, cutting
    and their wide variety of uses such as raised planting beds, vegetable beds, garden edging, rustic steps, bridges and even rustic benches and seating areas
  • New Oak Hardwood: Manufactured from fresh sawn timber, these sleepers are ideally suited to both hard landscaping projects and garden features.
