Oak Framing
We are passionate about building beautiful oak framed structures. By blending traditional methods with modern tools, we can expertly craft a wide range of beautiful oak frames in a variety of styles.
​
​
Our goal is to create stunning oak frames that are built to last a lifetime, using sustainably sourced timber. Each frame is unique, crafted with traditional techniques and hand-cut mortise and tenon joints secured with oak pegs.
We prioritise using high quality timber and can design and construct a variety of oak-framed structures, including porches, pergolas, gazebos, and pavilions.
​
We believe in a straightforward process to achieve the perfect oak frame for our clients: design, build, install, and celebrate!

​Design
The first step is to share your ideas with us, show us photos of designs you admire, or explore examples of our completed projects for inspiration. During our design meeting, we will discuss the overall size, and suitable timbers.
After discussing the initial design and dimensions, we will create a 3D scale drawing of your design to help you visualize it in your home or garden.
Build
You will have the final say on the design, and once you have approved it, we will order the timber from our trusted suppliers and begin crafting the frames in our local workshop.
If you're interested in visiting our workshop to see your structures take shape, just let us know—we will be happy to welcome you, and the kettle will always be on!
Install
Once the frames are built, we will transport them to your home for on-site installation. This process typically takes around three days for a small porch and up to ten days for a medium-sized gazebo.
​
Celebrate
Upon completing your timber frame, we hold a special ‘topping out’ ceremony. We attach a sprig of oak leaves to the highest point of the frame to honor the journey of the oak, from tree to timber and from timber to a beautiful new building.
Of course, no celebration is complete without tea and cake (or a drink of your choice) to toast your new structure and wish you health and happiness for the future.
