Notes on E Roberts @ Edmonton

[Newbie_Neil]

I am putting together a table of timber yards, with information from members who have actually visited the yards. Can you please help with information about E Roberts?
(To VIEW the full list of yards click here)
(To ADD a new yard/s please post here after checking that it is not already in the table.)

Are they hobby friendly?

Can you self-select or is it by appointment?

Will they deliver?

Do they have online ordering?

Are prices displayed at the yard?

Do they sell domestic hardwoods?

Do they sell other hardwoods?

Do they sell softwoods?

Do they sell manufactured boards?

Do they sell turning blanks?

Are they a one-man-band or a small, medium or large yard?

Will they cut to length to fit in your vehicle?

Do you have any comments?

Thanks for your help,
Neil

Are they hobby friendly? I'd imagine so (certainly they're fine with small quantity orders)

Can you self-select or is it by appointment? Self select

Will they deliver? Yes

Are prices displayed at the yard? Haven't seen any displayed prices myself. Usually I just ask

Do they sell domestic hardwoods? Yes, I think so

Do they sell other hardwoods? Yes

Do they sell softwoods? Yes

Do they sell manufactured boards? Yes

Do they sell turning blanks? No

Are they a one-man-band or a small, medium or large yard? I'd say medium

Will they cut to length to fit in your vehicle?I don't believe so

Do you have any comments? Been going here for a few years and have always found them helpful and competitively priced.

Hope this is of some help

My in laws live just round the corner to them in Enfield Lock. Are you local to the area as well Tony?

 

[tony_s]

Not that near; I'm in East London. Normally I tend to go to Roberts or, more recently, have been to the hardwood offcut guy out in Essex a couple of times

Ok. I’m a Wanstead boy myself originally but lived most of my life in various parts of east London before moving up here.
