Accurate carbon count data

James Jones is the only UK timber company with PAS2050 accreditation meaning we can give accurate carbon count data for all our timber.

Protecting the forest

Active Tyre Control Technology on our timber haulage fleet helps protect the forest tracks.

Creating renewable supplies

All our timber comes from coniferous forests - a renewable resource with continual replanting to secure future timber supplies and maximise carbon sequestration.

Nothing goes to waste

Nothing goes to waste during the sawmilling process and we generate over 450,000 tonnes of woodchip, sawdust, and bark co-products each year.

Consistent timber quality

We operate two Goldeneye X-Ray high-speed strength grading units, ensuring consistent timber quality.

Refined kilning process

At our Aboyne and Lockerbie mills we use biomass energy to heat the kilns, reducing our carbon emissions by 10,800 tonnes pa.

Sympathetic kilning

Wood is a natural product and needs gentle kilning to achieve the best results. We kiln for up to 120 hours to ensure our timber quality is as good as it can be.

Incising to ensure longer life

We were one of the first UK timber producers to introduce incised fencing to ensure longer life for ground contact products.

The UK’s best selling i-Joist

JJI-Joists produced by our Timber Systems Division are the UK’s largest selling I-joist. And, like all James Jones’ timber products, come with PAS:2050 certification.

Minimising damage & waste

James Jones was the first company to introduce mini bundling to sawn timber supplies, helping minimise stock damage and wastage.
