A well built oak structure should feel like it belongs to the property, not like something added afterwards. We focus on correct structure, clean joinery and proportion that works with the building and surroundings.
From oak framed porches and garden structures to full oak framed buildings, we build structures designed to last decades, not just look good when they are first installed.
Based in Lincolnshire, building oak structures across Lincolnshire and Rutland.
We specialise in oak framed structures alongside our wider timber framing and carpentry work. Every build focuses on correct structural design, jointing methods and long term movement control.
Most clients come to us after looking at cheaper oak options first. Usually the difference comes down to timber quality, jointing detail and how the structure will behave over time, not just how it looks when it first goes up.
Every oak structure is slightly different because every property is different.
Some clients want a porch that feels original to the house. Others want a garden structure that frames a view or creates usable outdoor space.
We design the structure around the building, the setting and how you actually use the space, not just how it looks on drawings.
The parts you don’t see are usually the parts that matter most.
We focus heavily on correct structual sizing, moisture management and correct joint detailing. It is not the most visible part of the project, but it is what prevents movement and long term issues later.
Our aim is simple: build it once, build it properly and leave you with a structure that settles naturally and performs the way it should.
Built to feel like a natural extension of your property.
We focus on timber selection, joint accuracy and structural detailing from the start. That means oak structures that age naturally, weather well and continue to look right long term.
Correct sizing, load paths and support before visual details.
Traditional mortise and tenon joints allow natural oak movement safely over time.
Clean cuts, tight joints and finishing that still looks right years later.
A few things clients usually ask us early on.
Do oak structures need planning permission?
Some do, some don’t. It depends on size, position and how the structure connects to existing buildings. We can normally give you a clear idea early on based on your property.
How long do oak structures last?
When designed and built correctly, oak structures can last decades or longer. Many traditional oak frames last hundreds of years.
Does oak change colour?
Yes. Oak naturally weathers from golden tones to silver grey over time.
Will oak crack or move?
Yes — and that’s normal. Oak is a natural material and will move as it dries. The important part is designing and building the structure to allow for that movement properly.
If you are planning an oak frame, porch, pergola or outdoor structure, send over a short brief and we will guide you through the next steps.
You don’t need to overthink it. A few lines is all it takes: location, rough size and intended use.
