Our free Guide to Oak Timber Framing can help set you on the way to building your dream oak frame home. It’s packed with detailed information and advice – and, if you need more help, we’re only a phone call away.

Building your own oak-framed home is a once-in-lifetime investment; for many people the realisation of a long-held dream.

As with all things, there are many ways to approach owning your own oak timber-frame home. It’s true that there are ‘off the shelf’ oak frames, and oak frame kits, available – but was compromise ever part of your plans for an oak framed home? Not the oak framed homes built for our customers, including no fewer than three oak timber framed houses featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs.

Bespoke oak timber-frame houses in England, Scotland and Wales

Our approach is based on the belief that people want the best – and, in the case of an oak timber-frame home, that means:

• a bespoke oak timber-frame house which meets your own personal needs and desires.
• an oak-frame design which takes your breath away. 
• a craftsman-built oak timber frame of unique character, built using traditional oak timber framing methods and materials.

Machined timber, based on standard everyday designs, simply can’t deliver the same quality and character of building as a bespoke timber frame home – and, in many cases, the cost savings aren’t substantial.

Oak frames with character and durability

Few materials can match oak for beauty and character. An oak timber frame home is something you will love and appreciate every day that you live in it. Designing a bespoke oak frame house ensures that your home is as unique as it is stunning – a lasting investment as well as an unmatched home.

Bespoke oak frames that offer exceptional value

Despite our handcrafted and bespoke approach, our oak timber frames are very competitively priced – often matching the costs of vastly inferior ‘off the shelf’ computer-machined oak frames.
