OakCraft

Info:  Are experts in creating traditional oak frame buildings. Based in Hampshire, we also have offices in Berkshire and Kent. We specialise in modular and bespoke designed oak garages, annexes, extensions, garden rooms, pool houses, trusses, orangeries, pergolas -- the list is endless. We operate nationally and design and craft all of our oak frame buildings at our sawmills in Holmsley, Hampshire which has been producing fine timber products since the 1880s.

All our oak comes from sustainable resources in managed forests. The use of such timber is therefore more environmentally friendly than the use of other building materials. Many oak framed buildings have lasted for hundreds of years, every bit as well as others of the same age built in stone or brick. We expect that one of our oak-framed buildings, on a proper foundation, will last for many centuries with reasonable maintenance -- oak itself requires little or no maintenance.

Oakmasters

Info:  Are specialists in beautifully finished oak beams, period and contemporary style oak frames and oak framed buildings such as oak framed garages and other outbuildings made with oak beams. We also provide bespoke oak beam solutions for existing buildings such as structural or aesthetic oak beams, oak beam layouts and beamed ceilings, oak roof trusses, complete oak roofs, tudor cladding, oak fireplace beams and oak beam casings which are designed to conceal steel joists.

Oakmasters are proud to confirm that we have gained accreditation for Chain of Custody from the two world recognised bodies, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes). Upon request at the time of order, the source of any of our products can be traced back to sustainably managed stocks.

Shireoak Frame

It is a simple and effective method resulting in precision, allowing them to work with oak with all its cracks, twists and curves. Oak frame stable blocks are becoming very popular as they are strong, durable and have a longer lasting life span than pressure treated timber.
