The Oak Frame Building Company

Oak contains tannic acid (a natural preservative), hence its longevity and why there are 800 year old buildings still in use. There is no reason why a timber building will not last forever, if maintained. Most people sandblast the inside, which then stays a pale honey colour, while the outside weathers to a silver grey, unless oiled, which tends to yellow it. Green oak is comparatively cheap -- around a quarter the cost of seasoned. We buy from managed plantations and as such is an infinitely renewable resource, with no evident shortage created by current demand.


The Timber Frame Company

Info:  Specialises in the design, construction and erection of traditional and modern Green Oak, Douglas Fir and Larch heavy structural timber frame buildings and structures. Based in Somerset in the South West of England, we work directly with our clients and architects, structural engineers, main contractors and affiliated experts. We value working as part of a design -- build team adding our specialist skills and knowledge to the project.


Welsh Oak Frame

Info:  Based in the heart of Mid Wales, Welsh Oak Frame provide traditionally built Oak Frame Homes and structures to self build clients across the country. Our years of experience designing and building authentic oak framed buildings have created homes that combine the best features of generations of traditional workmanship with the needs of modern standards of insulation, weatherproofing, layout and comfort. Our homes are based around a timber frame which may be all oak or more commonly a mixture of oak and softwood framing. Externally, the frame might be exposed with rendered infill panels or clad with stonework, brickwork or weatherboarding.

Through these methods, we can therefore offer you a high quality, cost effective structure which is quick to erect and which with the appropriate choice of roofing and cladding materials, gives you the opportunity to create a truly regional identity for your new home, blending sympathetically with the local environment and easing your way with Planning Authorities. Added to this is the benefit of the beautiful honey colour of exposed oak which adds a feeling of real quality and homeliness.


Westwind Oak Buildings

Info:  Westwind Oak Buildings Ltd specialise in the design and construction of contemporary, traditional and eco green oak framed houses, commercial wooden buildings and extensions. Timber Oak framing has been developed over the last ten centuries, by the skills of past craftsmen, and oak framing today continues the same traditional techniques, combined with modern design and construction methods to create beautiful oak houses.

Westwind Oak first came together in the mid eighties, when we combined timber framing with hardwood joinery and shipwright work. By the early nineties Westwind Oak had gained a reputation for quality bespoke projects, working for the National Trust, English Heritage and on many listed buildings. We have now established ourselves as a front runner in the construction of green oak framed buildings, both in traditional and contemporary wood designs. Much of our current projects are generated through positive referrals from past clients, pleased with the service we have provided.
