Why Build a Bespoke Oak Extension?
Adding a beautifully crafted extension to your home delivers both immediate lifestyle benefits and long-term property value. Whilst moving houses traditionally offered the solution for growing space needs, a thoughtfully designed oak extension provides a more cost-effective and less disruptive alternative.
What Are the Key Benefits of Oak Framed Buildings?
Oak provides unmatched strength and longevity for any additions to your home. This remarkable natural material actually strengthens with age, creating a more robust structure over time compared to conventional building materials. Each oak frame becomes increasingly stable through a natural seasoning process, ensuring exceptional durability for generations.
Why Is Oak Ideal for Bespoke Building Designs?
Oak's natural flexibility makes it perfect for creating unique, architecturally stunning buildings. Our patented OakCraft Jointing System, combined with oak's versatile properties, allows for innovative designs that blend with your existing property. From vaulted ceilings to expansive glazed sections, oak frames offer unlimited design possibilities whilst maintaining structural integrity.
Do I Need Planning Permission for an Oak Framed Building?
Most oak framed buildings and extensions require planning permission from your local authority. Our experienced team expertly guides Berkshire homeowners through the entire planning process, ensuring a smooth journey from initial concept to final approval.
Our optional planning services includes:
- Advice on local planning regulations
- Detailed architectural drawings
- Full planning application preparation
- Direct liaison with Berkshire planning authorities
- Management of documentation requirements
Will My Oak Frame Shrink or Move?
Oak frames naturally adjust as they season, a process that enhances their structural strength. Our innovative OakCraft Jointing System specifically accommodates this movement, ensuring your bespoke oak extension remains structurally sound and aesthetically perfect. By anticipating these natural characteristics during design and construction, we create oak-framed buildings that stand the test of time.
Can You Match My Property's Style With An Oak Framed Extension?
Absolutely. Our bespoke oak extensions seamlessly blend with all architectural styles, from traditional Tudor homes to contemporary properties. Each oak-framed extension is thoughtfully designed to complement your existing architecture whilst delivering modern functionality. Our master craftsmen combine traditional joinery techniques with innovative design to ensure your extension enhances your property's unique character.
New Pool House
Oakcraft designed and crafted our new pool house perfectly, just in time for us to enjoy all summer long. My kids absolutely love it—especially having a place to store their huge floats! It’s become the heart of our backyard, and we’re so thankful to Oakcraft for their incredible work. It’s everything we hoped for and more!.
Carport & Garage with Upper Floor
We had a two bay carport with a garage and room over the top built last year. OakCraft were prompt with their quote, they came and did a site visit and then the boys who erected the building were a delight to have on site. We can’t recommend the company highly enough.
Oak Sports Pavilion
We desperately needed a new sports pavilion that would be both functional and beautiful, and Oakcraft delivered beyond our expectations. They designed and built a stunning pavilion made entirely from their sustainable oak, and it has quickly become the centrepiece of our sports grounds. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the natural warmth of the oak has added a special touch that our students, staff, and parents all appreciate.
