The price of some imported lumber in UK has jumped 23 percent in just one month.<\/em><\/p>\n

The price of imported sawn or planed lumber jumped by more than a fifth between June and July, according to the latest data provided by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The material is now more than 64 percent more expensive than it was in July 2020.<\/p>\n

Imported plywood was nearly 12 percent more expensive in July than it was in June and up 82 percent over the past year.<\/div>\n

Timber Trade Federation (TTF) chief executive David Hopkins said: \u2018Both private housing and repair, maintenance and improvement need a lot of softwood, and these are the two sectors that, together with infrastructure, have led demand within a resurgent construction industry. At the same time, supply tightened in July, as sawmills and wood production facilities in Sweden and other European countries closed for essential summer maintenance.\u2019<\/p>\n

In June, Hopkins predicted that the third quarter of 2021 would be the most\u00a0testing period for the timber industry, partly due to a lack of stock in countries including Sweden, which supply the bulk of UK softwood. Swedish timber stocks remain at their lowest levels in more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

\n
Commenting on the latest figures from the BEIS, Hopkins said the price rises were \u2018far outside the bounds of normal levels\u2019 he has seen over the past 13 years.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Timber has consistently been one of the materials facing the\u00a0most severe shortages and price hikes.\u00a0In August architects\u00a0spoke out about how the \u2018perfect storm\u2019 of the Covid crisis, Brexit hurdles and surging construction activity had combined to create a \u2018huge\u2019 timber shortage, which was in turn impacting on projects.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) also warned timber was among a group of materials including steel, cement, and roofing products which were still\u00a0being constrained by supply issues.<\/div>\n

The UK has struggled with material shortages since last year, as some production slowed due to lockdowns and manufacturing plants closed. A\u00a0surge in construction activity\u00a0earlier in 2021 exacerbated the problem, and was compounded by shipping issues that included a\u00a0blockage on the Suez Canal\u00a0by a container ship, and the\u00a0partial closure of a Chinese port\u00a0last month.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
