Traditional Green Oak Timber Framing

We specialise in the design, construction and erection of traditionally jointed and pegged structural green oak timber framed buildings. Our timber frames are each individually designed and hand built by our small team of specialist carpenters in our workshop at Bere Alston near Tavistock in West Devon.

We do not make cheap mass produced buildings and each of our timber frames is absolutely unique and made with an individual attention to detail. Traditional heavy structural timber framing is an extremely versatile method of construction and the technique can be used to build anything from beautiful, durable, energy efficient houses and characterful extensions, to porches, garden houses, garden offices and oak conservatories, garages, gazebos and pergolas and playground shelters or heavy oak trusses. We offer an optional CAD frame design service although we are also happy to work with your own architect and timber frame designer.

ABOUT US
We are a small rural family business, specialising in green oak timber framing and joinery, based in the Tamar Valley, at Bere Alston near Tavistock in Devon. All our timber frames and joinery products are hand made to order by our small team of carpenters and joiners in our workshop and we take pride in producing high quality products made to individual specification.

News! Timber windows and doors made from locally grown kiln dried English hardwood and softwood: With the help of RDPE (Rural Development Programme for England) grant funding we have purchased and installed a range of modern joinery machinery, computer design software and window tooling which will allow us to make traditional and high performance oak timber windows, doors and other bespoke joinery from local sustainably grown English timber. We are also in the process of installing a timber drying kiln and we will shortly be able to both sawmill and kiln dry locally grown hardwood and softwood which will be used by our joiners in the construction of our windows and other joinery. We will also have kiln dried locally grown English timber available to purchase. A list of available kiln dried timber for sale will be posted on this website in the near future.
