Over the last 160 years the name of John Richardson & Son is well known in our area for quality timber, joinery & funeral directors. The current team are very aware of this and in their own words they feel that they are the caretakers for the business and they are keen to improve their good name.

The modern facilities they now have on 3 sites have greatly improved their operation & working conditions for both the staff and the customers.

The firm was founded in 1852 by John Richardson as joinery contractors and timber specialists, their premises were at Scott Lane adjoining Morrisons new supermarket now, in those days most of the timber was home grown and this required them to buy staining timber which they then had felled using shire horses to snig out and deliver to three yard by horse and wagons to their yard, to cut the timber to size they firstly used a coal fired boiler which operated a large back saw this was changed in the early 1900's with the onset of electricity as a new

    Exactly what it says. Good quality planed wood. Arrived in good condition and value for money. One down side and that’s nothing o do with supplier is the delivery guy left the box outside in the rain. Luckily it was well wrapped and had only just started soaking up the water through bottom of box.

    Ordered wood bench slats as listed. A few days later I received a small packet of bolts. Contacted seller only to be subjected to an unhelpful and unpleasant email exchange. Ebay invoice lists bench slats. I got bolts. Seller lays the blame on me. Now they've stopped communicating. Avoid.

    Quick delivery. There was an issue where the items had been damaged in transit by the courier. I sent a message and some photos and it was promptly resolved with a new set being sent out. Have to say the manner in which this was dealt with was very professional. Thank you again!
