Buy and sell UK grown timber

Connect directly with woodland managers, contractors and sawmills

The UK timber market is fragmented. Good wood goes to waste.

CloudForest connects sellers and buyers directly — so the right timber finds the right home.

For woodland owners & managers

Find the right buyers for your timber.

Some sales are simple — a few emails to trusted contacts and it’s done. But for other species, smaller volumes, or timber outside your usual network, finding the right buyer can take a lot of ringing around.

CloudForest lets you list standing trees or sell logs already at roadside. Connect with harvesting contractors and buyers — all in one place.

Want to plan ahead? Share sales before felling to see what buyers want, so you can cut to spec and time sales well.

From a single windblown tree to larger harvesting jobs – access more buyers and get fair value for your wood.

For small sawmills

Find the right timber, closer to home.

Finding the right timber takes time — chasing parcels scattered across woodland owners, managers, and contractors who are hard to track down. CloudForest brings them together in one place so you spend less time searching.

Search available timber across the UK and set alerts for parcels matching your requirements. Connect directly with woodland owners and contractors. Find supply closer to home.

View upcoming timber before it’s felled, talk to sellers early, and help ensure logs are cut to the specs your mill needs – not wasted as firewood.

For harvesting contractors

Get higher-quality logs to the right buyers.

Not all timber belongs at the same destination. CloudForest helps you connect directly with local sawmills and buyers who value what you’re cutting — so better logs don’t end up as firewood or chips.

Get alerts for standing timber sales and harvesting jobs in your area. Line up buyers before felling. Sell leftover roadside parcels quickly to those who need them.

For timber buyers & processors

Find UK grown timber that fits your needs.

Whether you’re sourcing for construction, joinery, manufacturing, firewood, or biomass — CloudForest helps you see what’s coming to market and what’s ready at roadside now.

Filter by location, set alerts, and connect directly with local sellers. Build a network of suppliers who can meet your specs, reduce haulage, and secure reliable supply.

How it works

1

Sellers list timber

Standing trees or roadside logs, with location, species, volumes, timing — and felling licence or management plan reference.

2

Buyers find what they need

Browse listings or set alerts by category, species, distance, & volume.

3

Connect & agree terms

Message directly, build relationships, and agree next steps.

Why CloudForest?

Better matches

CloudForest helps sellers reach more buyers, and helps buyers find timber that fits — so less good wood goes to waste.

Shorter distances

Connect with local sellers and buyers. Less haulage means lower costs, lower emissions, and stronger local timber economies.

Market information for everyone

See what's available, what's coming, and what buyers want. Better information means stronger businesses and better outcomes — on timing, specs, and value.

Direct relationships

Buyers and sellers connect directly, build relationships, and do business on their own terms.

All timber listed on CloudForest must come from UK legal sources. We encourage sellers to provide felling licence or management plan details upfront, plus any certification such as FSC, PEFC, or Grown in Britain.
