I recently had a leaflet posted through my door giving me information on Cottenham Sawmills. I was looking for a complete facelift to my garden and with the materials provided that is what i got. I opted for cottenham sawmills own larch product which is finished in a beautiful colour stain, through talking with the chaps down there they ran me through the process of putting up fencing and much more stuff i didnt know. The materials are top quality and they have transformed my garden especially the big sleepers. Thankyou for all your help and anyone reading should definitely give this great sawmills a visit.

What do you love most about your job?
There are good and bad things about owning a small sawmill in a village, as the owner it can be very stressful and also very fore filling.
Supplying the trade and public is great, people are usually very friendly and always happy with my service and the quality of the timber, I am always happy to provide a cutting and bespoke service, I have made a variety of cabins, fence panels, trellis, seating, tables and much more.
I am always happy to talk to customers about their needs.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The lack of choice within the timber business, meaning, I got constantly frustrated when going in timber merchants and being told I have to choose what they had in stock and they didn't provide a cutting service. so when the last owner was thinking of shutting down I ask if I could buy the business from him and he agreed. He also taught me all he learnt over his last 30 years of running a sawmill, which was very kind of him. so now you can come to my mill and have what you want not what I have, and if I can't help I will try and forward you onto someone who can.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am the only Mill in this area that cuts Larch on site from the log, also we manufacture Larch fence panels, trellis, sleepers, and bespoke sheds and timber buildings. Larch is such a top quality timber for all your landscaping needs. If I haven't got it in stock I am more than happy to cut it for you.So why not pop over and take a look at what we do here at Cottenham Sawmills.
