Tips for Getting Started
Are you looking to add more space to your home? Extra living space that adds both character and value to your home? Whether you are envisaging a light-filled garden room, a peaceful home office away from the main house, a stunning oak-framed garage or a self-contained annexe for family members, traditional oak framing offers endless possibilities.
Oak frame construction has graced Britain’s architectural landscape for centuries, and for good reason. The natural strength and beauty of oak creates spaces that feel both grand and welcoming, with each timber frame telling its own unique story through its grain patterns and natural features.
Blending With Your Home
Achieving a natural flow between your existing home and a new addition requires careful consideration at every stage – from the initial sketches through to the finest finishing touches. With the right style and materials, an oak framed addition will end up feeling like it has always been part of your home.
Through decades of experience with oak frame construction, we have mastered the art of matching architectural styles. Our designers pay meticulous attention to details like roof pitches, window proportions and cladding options to create that important visual connection with your main property.
Browse our portfolio to see how previous clients have chosen everything from tiles to ironmongery, ensuring their oak buildings feel like an extension of their home rather than a separate addition. If you ask our team, we will love to tell you about how even the smallest design decisions can make a remarkable difference to the final result.
Oak Frame Construction Costs
Getting your oak frame budget right begins with clarity about what matters most to you. To calculate your budget, begin by listing the essential elements you need and any additional features you may want to add to your oak frame. This will help establish an estimated budget for your project, and let us sketch out some ideas that work with your finances.
Most projects grow from a simple idea into something truly special, so we will help you balance the must-haves against those lovely extra touches that make a house feel like home.
Getting The Space Right
When planning your oak frame project, whether it is an extension or a complete building, we start by understanding how you will use the space. Yes, those handcrafted oak beams will look magnificent overhead – but we first focus on the practical elements that will matter most in your day-to-day life.
Our approach, refined over thirty years of crafting timber frames across Britain, is more than just stunning architecture – it is about understanding how you will move through your new space, where you will gather with family, and how your oak frame extension will adapt to your lifestyle through the seasons.
