Hello the cheapest place would be a diy store, the quality dies differ slightly,  but still very usable. 
Timber merchants can bit abit pricey, especially for walk ins

Timber yard quality is much better but you need to shop about and in a timber yard you could ask for a better deal will a DIY store you pay what it says

Mick · Answer

A local timber yard is definitely cheaper. And chances are they will be more helpful than B&Q.

Scott · Answer

I’m a joiner an always use saw mills for my timber as I feel they take more care with their materials than the local builders merchants and especially bnq and wicks

Matthew · Answer

As a trades man and depending on the customers spec will depend on where I purchase timber if fencing I use a local timber merchant normally or if doing a roof or floor joists would use a builders merchant as they normally have the correct standard of timbere needed such as c24 or c16

Leigh · Answer

I have found the b and q superstores to be very competitive, they also have a wide range

Sean · Answer

Timber yards on the whole are cheaper than DIY stores and most will give you a discount for cash,also at timber yards there's generally more stock so you pick your own timber therfore get good quality
