William Frances Timber is a traditional timber yard with a D.I.Y. shop attached in Herne Bay, on the Kent coast. We have a varied customer base, including professional carpenters, small building contractors and DIY enthusiasts from across Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury and Ashford.

A very well established business, William Frances began trading in 1958 and our present owners, Julie and David Mount, took over in 1996. We have remained a friendly, local business with an emphasis on customer service and giving honest, expert advice.

We have three full-time staff, all very experienced in the trade: Paul Evans, our manager; Jeff Spray, machinist and salesman; Geoffrey Parker, salesman and deliveries.

Quality has always been our focus here at William Frances Timber. Whilst we strive to be competitive on all our product range, our prices offer good value for money. This is because we only sell the highest quality, responsibly sourced timber and we never cut corners to save money.

If you have any queries please contact us for friendly, honest advice.
