Our Services
Comprehensive Heritage Building Services
From specialist timber framing and green oak construction to listed building restoration and bespoke renovations — every service delivered with traditional craftsmanship and conservation expertise.
Timber Framing
Our core expertise lies in the construction of traditional timber frames using time-honoured methods. Every frame is built from carefully selected English oak, with joints hand-cut using mortise and tenon, dovetail, and bridle joint techniques. Each connection is secured with oak pegs — no metal fixings — ensuring a structure that grows stronger as the green oak dries and tightens naturally over time.

- Traditional drawboring techniques

Specialist Oak Framing
