F H Ives Timber, Decking & DIY Specialist

16/09/2026

We are not here for just the ‘run of the mill’ jobs (pun intended!) but also those tricky ones!

James & Jay & J Carpentry had a challenging task securing these heavy glass panels that were moving within their newly erected composite upright posts on this stunning Trex United Kingdom decking that’s now been down for ten years.

The glass panels have now been stabilised with this European Oak that’s been machined to the exact size in our onsite Timber Mill here at F H Ives Timber.

Give us a call for any run of the mill and specialised timber jobs. We’d love to be of service.

More than just your average run of the mill timber business. Small enough to care, experienced enough to be of service with over 80 years of serving the town of Wickford and surrounding areas.

The bulk of our business is selling high quality timber at competitive prices, however, we often have seconds that we are not prepared to sell at RRP.

Our new Seconds Corner is proving very popular but changes rapidly so will not be advertised on our website. Please always feel free to pop in and pick up a bargain.
