Developments in timber processing and chemical treatments over the last decade or so now allow us to offer 15 year warranties on all of our Use Class 4 ground contact timber products.

James Jones has been committed to incising its Use Class 4 ground contact timbers since the company installed the UK's first incising line in 2013 at our Lockerbie mill.

In another industry first, we installed a mini-bundling line at Lockerbie in 2012 to offer our timber better protection, reduce wastage and to increase sales opportunities for our merchants.

Looking after the environment has always been a fundamental part of our business and we have pioneered new systems and processes to minimise the environmental impact that we make.
