History
Established in 1814 in Syston, near Leicester, George Walker has a long tradition in the supply of quality timber, and a range of services and skills to make the most of its use.
Originally founded as a haulage business, George Walker soon began to handle round timbers from the local estates. This progressed into sawmilling and the manufacture of quality timber components, from fencing, gates and agricultural components through to sports pavilions, all produced with an eye for the customers individual requirements.
Today, George Walker has maintained this long tradition for quality and individuality, but added a focus on current market requirements. Still based in Syston, we offer a wide choice of building timbers, fencing products, and timber to meet the growing demand for landscaping and garden design. We not only supply fencing materials, we also offer a high quality fence erection service. The majority of our products are pressure treated with Tanalith E at our own plant in Syston.
George Walker also offers a range of arboricultural work to a wide range of clients, including local authorities, private landowners, building developers, landscapers and house owners. Services include tree surgery and felling, as well as planting and maintenance.
