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.

Insulating the envelope of a builing`s conditioned space yields these key benifits: provides a much more comfortable, productive and livable structure; in addition, the effects of moisture condensation and air movement are minimized in well-insulated buildings; this results in lower maintance costs and increased logevity of the building structure; reduces energy requirements, which lower utility bills; supports economic, environmental and energy conservation goals. This is evidenced by the numerous studies sponsored by the energy commission.

Info:  Specialist design and construction of traditional and contemporary green oak frames for houses, extensions, conservatories, studios, garages, barns, stables, bridges, roofs etc.

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.
