About Us
Family-owned & operated company
providing quality building materials
to Officer, Grantville & surrounds
Van Steensel Timbers Pty Ltd was established by Jan Van Steensel back in 1965.
The store begun by selling recycled timber which then expanded to sell a wide range of building supplies along with providing wood machining services.
With the success of the first store in Officer, Jan and Freda decided to open at a second location in 1990 in Grantville. Their four sons now operate both the Officer and Grantville stores.
Peter and David manage the business in Officer while Bruce and Stephen manage the Grantville store.
It is with this family and community focus that we are able to provide the best service possible, and it is what sets us apart from the rest.
Jan has created a legacy within the area of Officer and Grantville that lives on through his children and grandchildren.
Great customer service, excellent products, premium grade timber at competitive rates. Do not hesitate to ask questions as staff are eager to offer their expertise & knowledge & their experience is invaluable. Thank You Van Steensel's

I need something that's stocked at your other store, can I have it transfered to my closest store?
Yes, absolutely we can arrange transfer of your goods between our stores. We typically require a days notice to accomodate the request.
I need custom skirting and architraving to suit heritage features, can you provide this?
Bring in a sample of the profile you need and our wood machinist can work out the best method to match it. We do request samples in this instance so that all measurements are accurate.
Do you order in custom flashing and roofing orders?
Yes we do. Turnaround from us placing an order with our supplier is roughly 3-4 days currently. This may change depending on circumstances. Please provide a diagram with angles and measurements if you wish to order flashing.
I'm looking for a particular plant but noticed you don't stock it. Can I order it in?
We can absolutely give it a try. Factors may impact when we can get something in, such as seasonal considerations and if the plant is rare to begin with. Contact our Grantville store and we will do our best to get what you’re after.
