Why Choose Oak Framed Buildings?

A closer look at why we choose to work with oak at Timberpride…

Durability:
Oak’s inherent strength and longevity ensure your building stands the test of time. Whether it’s an oak-framed extension or an oak-framed garage, its durability offers a solid, secure investment for years to come.

Standout Factor:
Each piece of oak is unique, with rich grains and warm tones that bring character to any structure. An oak conservatory creates a stunning, light-filled space, while an oak orangery blends timeless appeal with practicality.

Versatility:
Oak adapts effortlessly to traditional and modern designs. It’s perfect for enhancing a period property with a classic extension or creating a contemporary conservatory that connects indoor and outdoor living spaces seamlessly. At Timberpride, we craft each oak-framed building with care and precision, ensuring it complements your home and vision perfectly.

Oak Frame House

I’ve known Timberpride for a long time so when I wanted to build an oak garage I contacted Alec. He was great to work with, really helpful, listening to our ideas and what we wanted to achieve, and then designing the building to meet requirements, an unusual asymmetrical shape, and budget. The team who came to site to put it up were brilliant! Respectful, knowledgable and happy to explain what was going on. We bought the cladding too, the finished look is rustic and really attractive, we love it!

Hope to be back in a couple of years for a conservatory!

Dear Alec,

I am writing to thank you and your team members who worked on the staircase at Christmas House, Ledwell. We are really pleased with the result and the oak weatherboarding has also transformed that side of the building.

Particular thanks to Carl, who was very careful in taking measurements for an unusual and complicated structure to fit around existing garden features, and worked hard to ensure that the staircase fitted perfectly.

It has been good to work with you on this project as your attention to detail and pride in the quality of the finished structure has delivered a great result.

Ian Simpson

I’m very happy with the service provided by Timberpride. The whole process has been personal, professional and delivered with a true passion, which is not an easy find in today’s world!

Tim

I found Timberpride very helpful with the design and construction of my garden room, we were impressed. I would like to thank all of the operatives for a very professional service throughout.

Terry Stevenson

We have used Timberpride on many occasions, they can get what we need in whatever size we need it, which many timber suppliers fail to do. We highly recommend them.

Shaun

Timberpride provided an excellent service, combining a friendly approach with obvious expertise. They were able to advise on products & met our requirements at a competitive price.

Debbie Chard

Timberpride are extremely welcoming and attention to detail is first class. A bonus was I could see the Truss & Purlins at various stages of being done by their craftsmen workforce. They delivered on time and costs were competitive.

Ian Salt

Everything went extremely well and to plan, including personal delivery of some of the oak from Alec, the owner and his son. In this day and age of online sales and aggressive pricing it’s a great experience to be able to walk into your lovely oak offices, meet the owner, take a look behind the scenes and at your oak waiting to be hand crafted into your designs. It’s a true Cotswold experience and well worth the small premium for the excellent service and to be able to engage first hand with all the processes.

Bob Davison

When I wanted to change the flooring in my house, my friend recommended Timberpride Limited so I gave them a go. I was overwhelmed with the amount of support and the efficiency and ease of the whole situation. For everything that they did, their price was very good in comparison to others!

Rob Stephenson

Its funny how things work out, I was due to go with another local oak timber frame company but they let me down. To my good fortune I stumbled across Timberpride on the Friday and had instructed them on the Monday. What a team, what a joy to deal with and ultimately what a product. Diligently designed and beautifully made. This was always an important element of my ‘Grand design’ new build and I’m so please that Timberpride were involved in its delivery.

The Process of Working with British Oak

We have a long standing process of how we handle our trees through from felling to final product assembly of our oak buildings. All our oak is responsibly and sustainably obtained from British forests.

The Tree

The Tree

At Timberpride we’re proud to be responsible in sourcing our oak from well managed woodland in the UK. The growing conditions and forest health are closely observed to ensure future health for generations to come. Each Oak tree grows for a long time, a thriving eco system is therefore vital.

The Process

The Process

Once a British Oak tree is felled it’s brought to our yard in Tetbury. We begin the process of grading, milling and grading again. Reading each beam to use it or position it to it’s greatest strength and advantage before we start carving the joints.

The Craftsmen

The Craftsmen

We’re committed to using traditional skills. With a material as idiosyncratic as oak you have to really understand the grain patterns and how it will behave later on when in a frame. That’s why we trust skilled hands over automated methods.

The Benefit

The Benefit

Oak frame construction has been around for many centuries, with buildings still standing for many more to come. Oak simply lasts a very long time when used correctly. The environmental impact of using oak in construction over modern methods is substantial as well.

Oak Framed Garden Kitchen from Timberpride

Creating a Standout Oak Framed Garden Kitchen

We worked closely with a client to design an 8-meter octagonal structure with no central posts, creating an open space with a beautiful roof. If you’re considering a similar addition to your home, explore our stunning oak garden rooms for inspiration.

Customer satisfaction comes first at Timberpride. Before sending the frame to the site, Carl, one of our team members, assembled the entire structure in our workshop to confirm everything fit together perfectly. Using a crane, forklift, ropes, and sheer determination, we stood the frame up to ensure that our work would exceed the client’s expectations.

Now that the building is complete and in use, the client’s favourite feature is the view from inside, with the intricate ceiling boss, rafters, and sarking all contributing to an exceptional space.

Sustainable Oak Construction

We believe it is our responsibility to make maximum use of every magnificent oak tree that we bring into our yard. Harvesting a tree that was planted by our great-great grandparents’ generation which has now reached maturity is an honour.

Each saw log is selected for the job, considering length, girth, knots and efficiency. Not only do we produce beams, we take boards form the outside which, grade dependent, are used for cladding, joinery or flooring thereby maximising the yield from what might be a 120-year-old tree.

We are proud that nothing is wasted. Only the bark and slabbing boards, pieces too small or rotten knot pockets which can’t be used are chipped to fire our biomass boiler, heating the workshop, office and kiln.

A Natural Approach

When working with oak framing, you generally find it tends to do what it wants and there’s not much that can be done to stop it. However, with experience we can see how a beam is going to behave and work with it’s strengths, not forcing it, in denial of its nature.  When you work with oak the results can be amazing, but you must accept it for what it is.

We’ve always prided ourselves on doing things the natural way, having the greatest respect for this material which has been used in construction for centuries.
