Joe gets his cap- the first of many!

We are delighted that our sponsored player, Joe Bailey, made his first appearance in the Premiership and gained his Exeter Chiefs cap on Saturday v Harlequins.

It is a special moment for us at Southern Timber as Joe's family were long-time friends of our late MD and founder, Mike Tewson. Mike loved his rugby and would be made up that Joe has gone on to represent his beloved Chiefs at the highest level in this country.

A huge congratulations to Joe and his family.

From today, 26th October, until 6th November, a section of Wolborough Street in Newton Abbot is closed, which cuts off access to the A381 Totnes Road and to Southern Timber.

If you are approaching us from Newton Abbot, there is the Coach Road cut through from Penn Inn roundabout but there are delays on this route due to roadworks.

If you are getting to us via car or van from Newton Abbot, try heading towards Kingskerswell and taking Old Newton Road, sign posted to Bickley Mill Inn, then Foredown Lane, Maddacombe Road, Bickley Road and Gropers Lane. Although not suitable for HGVs, this route has plenty of passing points and will be advised on Google Maps, Waze etc.

If you'd like the latest advice, feel free to drop us a message.

For years, we have been selling engineered oak flooring for lounges, hallways, dining rooms and bedrooms. When a customer wanted wood in their kitchen or bathroom, we would advise against it.

We are keeping Elka's Tweed Oak in stock, a 13mm x 190mm x 1820mm board that is suitable for every room in the house for just £37.25 +VAT per m2.
