Welcome to the Richard Potter Timber Merchant internet site. Click on the 'Product Prices' button to view our current stock.
Richard Potter is an independent, fourth generation family-run firm, which has supplied the South Cheshire area with quality Softwoods and Hardwoods for over one hundred years.
Traditional values of service, quality and competitive prices are as important today as they were when the first Richard Potter decided that it was easier to resell timber, than to continue his trade as a cabinet maker. The firm has progressed enormously since those days. Now, for example, the timber is stored under cover, largely in racks, and is properly looked after.
There is a traditional hardware shop on the same site as our timber yard. The shop holds a large stock of ironmongery,hand-tools, turning blanks and other timber-related products.
Richard Potter has the staff, the stock, and the necessary expertise to be able to supply quality timber, machined if required, to suit our customers' needs. A visit to our Nantwich shop and premises will undoubtedly be well worthwhile.
With the expansion of our workshop, we are now able to offer a bench-joinery service for the bespoke manufacture of doors, gates, worktops, window frames etc. in Oak, Beech, Iroko, Ash or any other of our Softwoods and Hardwoods.
We do not open on Bank Holidays. Please note that there is only a limited cutting to size service on Saturday mornings. There is no machining service on Saturday afternoons or Sundays.
A local delivery service is available by arrangement.
Our prices are based on the assumption that goods will be collected from our yard as seen. We are, of course, happy to offer a cutting to length and cutting/ planing to size service. This work is carried out as quickly as circumstances allow, and is charged at �10+Vat per quarter hour machining slot.
