Cheers, will check them out. Went down to Dulwich reclamation yesterday and they seemed confident at sourcing what I required, although we didn’t discuss area coverage. Thought it was a little expensive at 30-35 per sqmetre

You need to be careful when sourcing any timber products from a reclamation yard. If they have had any paint or varnish on them then the yard will dip them, basically put them in a large tub of liquid nitro-mors and leave them until the paint lifts off (I don't know the exact process this is my best guess). As a result of the dipping process the timber often takes on a lot of moisture so will shrink back once it dries out.
