Business Overview

John Farrugia Ltd has been supplying quality timber and wood products to Malta for over 40 years. Based in Tarxien, the company has built a strong reputation for honest service, expert knowledge and fair prices. Whether you are a professional carpenter, a builder working on a construction site or a homeowner tackling a personal project, John Farrugia Ltd has the experience and the stock to help you get the job done properly.

Walking into John Farrugia Ltd, you immediately notice the depth of knowledge on offer. The team has spent decades working alongside carpenters, ironmongers and construction professionals across Malta. They understand what a real project demands. They know which timber performs best under pressure, which grade of plywood suits a particular application and which moulding profile gives the cleanest finish. That kind of hands-on experience is difficult to find, and it is one of the main reasons customers keep coming Read Moreback year after year.

Planed timber is one of the most popular products in the range. Unlike rough sawn wood, planed timber arrives smooth and clean, ready to use straight away. It is the preferred choice for interior joinery, furniture making, shelving and any finishing work where appearance matters. The team can advise on the right dimensions and species for each job, whether you need a single board or a large quantity for a full fit out. Getting the right planed timber from the start saves time and avoids costly mistakes later in the project.

For anyone working in construction across Malta, structural timber is an essential material. John Farrugia Ltd supplies structural timber suitable for roofing, framing, flooring supports and other load bearing applications. Every piece is selected for strength and consistency, giving builders and contractors the confidence that the timber they take to site will perform exactly as expected. Sourcing reliable structural timber in Malta is not always straightforward, and having a trusted supplier like John Farrugia Ltd makes the planning and procurement process far simpler.

Plywood is another core product available at the yard. It is one of the most versatile materials in the trade, used across furniture production, interior fit outs, cabinet making, formwork and general construction. John Farrugia Ltd stocks plywood in a range of grades and thicknesses, covering both standard applications and more demanding uses. If you are unsure which type suits your project, the team will talk you through the options and help you make the right choice without overcomplicating things.

Timber cladding is growing in popularity across Malta, both for interior walls and exterior facades. It brings warmth and texture to a space, and it works equally well in residential renovations, commercial interiors and garden or outdoor settings. John Farrugia Ltd can supply timber cladding in profiles suited to a variety of styles, from clean and contemporary finishes to more rustic, natural looks. The team is also well aware of the local climate conditions in Malta and can advise on the best timber species and treatments to ensure that cladding holds up well over time, even through the heat and humidity of a Maltese summer.

Timber moulding is another area where John Farrugia Ltd can offer real guidance. Mouldings are used to frame doors and windows, create skirtings and cornices, add definition to furniture pieces and give joinery projects a polished, professional finish. The selection covers the most commonly requested profiles, and the staff can help customers identify the right moulding for their specific application. Whether you need something simple and clean or a more detailed decorative profile, you will find the right option here.

One of the most practical services John Farrugia Ltd offers is the wood cutting service. Rather than buying full lengths and cutting materials yourself at home or on site, you can bring your measurements to the yard and have the timber cut to size on the spot. This saves time, reduces waste and means you take home pieces that are ready to use immediately. The wood cutting service is particularly useful for tradespeople who need precision cuts before heading to a job, and equally valuable for DIY enthusiasts who want materials that fit perfectly from the start.

Many are homeowners who enjoy building and creating in their spare time, and the team is just as happy to help someone plan a garden bench or a storage unit as they are to supply timber for a full commercial fit out.
