Materials expertise

Carpenter Oak & Woodland has a reputation for working with timber – and other materials in the same build – in ways that other companies simply can’t match.

Carpenter Oak & Woodland has extensive expertise with a wide range of timber and timber-based materials, and timber and steel connections.

We have extensive knowledge and experience of timber structures using natural softwoods and hardwoods, laminated softwoods and hardwoods (glulam, CLT), timber composites (LVL, OSB, constructional plywoods) and standard or bespoke steel fabrications (plate, cables and rods).

Knowing and engineering how these differing materials work together is an essential part of the construction process. We are one of the very few specialists in our field in the UK which allows us to approach challenging projects in confidence – where other companies would be merely finding their way.
