TIMBERFORM NORTH WEST LIMITED

What TIMBERFORM NORTH WEST LIMITED does

Timberform North West Limited is a family-owned saw mill and bespoke timber joinery manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Heywood, Lancashire. The firm produces made-to-order door components, fire rated timber screens, glazed vision panels, acoustic seals, and complementary architrave and skirting products, using Redwood and a range of hardwoods. Manufacturing is performed on-site, including glazing, with options for primed and fire-rated (30 and 60 minute) variants to meet UK building safety and acoustic specifications.

The company sells primarily into UK construction supply chains, serving national house builders, construction firms, refurbishment and renovation companies, public sector buyers (hospitals and schools), hospitality operators (hotels and leisure complexes), and housing/apartment developers. Distribution is direct-to-customer via a sales team led by Managing Director Martin Reaney and Director Jane Sarhan, with no disclosed channel partners, no online ordering, and no disclosed pricing. The firm states a high proportion of business comes from repeat customers and referrals, supported by over 30 years of trade experience and compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and EU Timber Regulations.

More recently, Timberform has extended its product line into patented designer outdoor garden products including planters, seating, raised beds, and decking manufactured to order, signalling a modest diversification beyond core B2B joinery into adjacent consumer-facing categories. The business remains a privately held UK limited company with no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A or external funding activity.
