Oak Framed Buildings
Seeking to expand your living space with enduring elegance? Throughout Hampshire, homeowners are embracing the distinctive character of oak framed buildings. From our workshop in the New Forest, OakCraft has earned recognition as one of Hampshire’s leading oak framers, crafting oak garden rooms, extensions, annexes and outbuildings that honour the architectural heritage of the region.
Oak frames offer Hampshire residents a practical building solution that suits our varied local architecture. They work brilliantly alongside period cottages in Wickham, complement Victorian townhouses in Southsea, and provide character to modern homes in Eastleigh. The versatility of oak buildings stems from their structural integrity, low maintenance requirements, and the charm of having each beam and joint is visible as a reassuring reminder of proper craftsmanship.
Nothing quite matches the smell of freshly worked green oak or the way it gradually silvers and develops its distinctive patina over time. Our buildings do more than just provide additional space; they create a genuine sense of permanence and character that is increasingly rare in modern construction.

Oak Building Design
Over decades of working across Hampshire we have gained valuable insights into the local planning considerations. We understand what works architecturally in the Test Valley and which design approaches satisfy planning officers in East Hampshire’s conservation areas.
Most clients come to us with ideas rather than detailed plans. We then translate their requirements into oak structures that meet their practical needs, local planning requirements and enhance their property’s character.

With our experience in planning applications, we streamline the planning permission process for the clients who choose us to manage their applications.
Our team routinely manages planning applications in:

Let OakCraft manage your application, to benefit from our local knowledge and established working relationships with conservation officers across Hampshire.

Why Choose Oak?
Hampshire’s climate, with its coastal humidity in the south and more sheltered conditions inland, suits oak construction perfectly. Traditional oak frames move and settle naturally with seasonal changes, developing character rather than problems over time.
Our oak structures are based on building principles that have weathered British conditions for centuries. Yet we incorporate modern engineering knowledge, insulation standards and glazing technologies to deliver buildings that satisfy contemporary requirements.
Every oak framed building project receives our 10-year structural guarantee, though frankly, we expect our oak buildings to stand for generations. From listed building extensions in Bishop’s Waltham to stylish poolside pavilions near Romsey, our commitment to proper craftsmanship is found in every project we undertake.

At OakCraft we specialise in designing and building stunning oak framed buildings throughout Hampshire. Some of the most popular structures we create include:
Many clients begin with a smaller project like an oak porch or garage before progressing to more substantial buildings once they have experienced the craftsmanship and care we put into every project.

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.
