Big shout out to the team at Canterbury Timber and Building Supplies, great customer service, open when others are not and reasonably priced. Had some skirting custom milled, basically done next day and was able to pick up on the public holiday. Can't beat that!

Had exactly what we wanted and delivered promptly. In fact the delivery driver was fantastic, the only person who has ever been able to get into our back lane without any directions. Well done Canterbury Timber!

Barry was the man whom offered my son & I assistance regarding the purchase of timber for his school major project. The assistance, advice and service was absolutely great, that even included a BBQ breakfast if we keen!

I came by to buy a few cypress pine floorboards to replace my existing damaged floorboards. The staff are very friendly, especially Lee, a very helpful Korean gentleman who went above and beyond to help me out - from directing where I should park and helping me choose the boards, he even carried the boards to my car - thanks for a wonderful start to the day. The cypress pine floorboards were top quality compared to ones I purchased from other timber yards like Blacktown building (less knots, and no curves on the "face" of the board).

The boards I got here will have a more polished appearance. Price wise it is better at Canterbury (Aug 2020). Thank you to the team at Canterbury Timber and appreciate the complimentary egg and bacon roll I got this morning, it was delicious.
