About Us

Where We Started

Our Beginnings In 1998, the journey of 414 Timber commenced, and our story began as manufacturers of top-notch joinery products catering to various sectors of the construction industry. Our diverse portfolio included many projects, but it wasn't long before we carved out a distinguished niche for ourselves in crafting impeccable, enduring oak creations. This tradition still thrives as one of our core specialities. What sets us apart is not just our craftsmanship but our commitment to providing a warm, personalised service cherished by both our esteemed trade partners and valued retail customers. As a family-run business, our collective experience spans over a century in the realms of fencing and construction.

We’ve Moved On

In 2004, we embarked on a journey of growth, seeking larger workshop facilities that led us to our present location at Briggens Park in Stanstead Abbots. This expansive 20-acre site marked the beginning of a new chapter, allowing us to broaden our horizons by delving into a diverse range of timber garden products.

Who we are today

Over the years, our fencing division has flourished, becoming a reliable source for trade and retail clientele alike. Simultaneously, our reputation for impeccable joinery work has steadily grown. Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as 414 Fencing, a name that encapsulates our evolution and expertise. Furthermore, under our Lionwood brand, we continue to craft an expanding catalogue of bespoke projects. From grand estate gates, windows, doors, staircases, and furniture to exquisite fit-outs for bars, restaurants, hotel spaces, and receptions, we've left our mark. Recently, we've embraced the realm of modern luxury cabins, adding another dimension to our repertoire of specialised woodcraft projects.

Why Choose 414 Fencing?

Our ethos is simple: if we don't have it in stock, we can craft it for you. Our on-site store boasts an exceptional array of garden fencing products, unrivalled in variety and quality. Moreover, we're here to cater to your unique needs. Whether you desire a specific gate made wider or fashioned from a particular wood type, we can bring your vision to life. Even if it's something as precise as having your posts cut to a specific length, consider it done.

Why Choose Lionwood? 

Lionwood represents limitless creativity and adaptability. If you've spotted something you adore, we have the expertise to replicate it for you. Whether it's embellishing a unique property with custom-designed windows, doors, and a staircase or crafting striking, individualised, electrically-operated driveway gates, our Lionwood joinery master craftsmen are at your service. We thrive on being creative and completely flexible. Count on us for design assistance, construction guidance, and material selection tailored to your project's budget.

The Environment

At 414 Fencing and Lionwood, our commitment extends to the environment. We prioritise sourcing timber from FSC-accredited suppliers wherever feasible. When that's not an option, we turn to well-established sustainable timber growers, primarily in the UK. Our conscientious approach ensures minimal production waste, which is either recycled or processed responsibly to minimise contributions to landfills.

Delivering to you

We go the extra mile to offer more than a standard curbside delivery. Our dedicated drivers are here to assist you in getting your products precisely where you need them. We're at your service six days a week, from Mondays to Saturdays. Typically, our stock fencing products reach your doorstep within 1 to 2 days. We also aim to provide you with an accurate delivery timeframe, allowing you to plan your day with confidence and ease.
