We specialise in the repair and construction of oak framed buildings. Oak has been used in construction for centuries, valued for its strength, durability, and timeless character. Whether you require repairs to an existing frame or the creation of a new oak structure, our work combines traditional joinery skills with a deep respect for historic building methods.
For historic properties, we carry out repairs to existing oak frames, trusses, and structural timbers. This often involves splicing in new oak sections to replace decayed or damaged elements, carefully matching the size, grain, and finish to the original. Where whole sections require replacement, we shape and detail new oak to sit seamlessly within the structure, ensuring the frame remains both sound and authentic.
We also design and build new oak framed structures, from simple extensions and porches to full buildings. Using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, pegged in the time-honoured way, our oak frames are crafted to provide strength and character that will last for generations. New oak naturally weathers over time, softening to blend with the surrounding materials and creating a finish that feels immediately at home alongside older buildings.
Oak framed construction often forms part of larger projects, such as extensions, garages, or outbuildings, where the natural beauty of oak provides both structure and architectural interest. In every case, we take care to ensure that the design is sympathetic to its setting and that all detailing is carried out with precision.
