Oak Annexe

Artisan Oak Framed Annexes

At Timberpride, our difference is that every oak annexe is made with traditional hand skills. Our artisans work directly with British oak, carefully selecting each beam, shaping it with precision, and joining it with techniques refined through years of expertise.

Working by hand allows us to engage with the natural qualities of the wood, making thoughtful decisions at every stage. By observing the grain and texture of each piece, we can ensure accuracy in our cuts, structural integrity, and long-lasting durability.

Every joint, every finish, every element is crafted with care, resulting in oak annexes that are as unique as the homes and landscapes they become a part of.

Extras to consider when installing an oak frame with us

What is fixed face glazing?

We glaze our Oak frames using air-dried English oak cover boards to clamp glass in place, forming a weathertight seal by compressing closed cell memory foam between the oak and the glass. The method allows the timber to flex slightly, enabling it to move up to 6mm without causing any bending stress on the glass.

The benefit of this glazing method is the complete coverage of the internal mortise and tenon joints, shielding them from outside weather conditions.

Oak framed gazebos & pool houses

An oak framed gazebo is the perfect outdoor companion to your annexe, offering a sheltered space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. Handcrafted from sustainable British oak, it adds lasting aesthetic appeal and function to your garden while connecting indoor and outdoor living. We can also create beautifully crafted oak framed pool houses, offering practical space for changing, storage, or simply unwinding by the water.

Oak Outbuildings Sourced from British Forests

At Timberpride, every oak outbuilding starts with the finest British oak. We take pride in understanding the history of each tree, working exclusively with woodlands that have long-term management plans in place to ensure they thrive for generations to come.

Nothing goes to waste—only the bark, slabbing boards, and unusable offcuts are chipped to fuel our biomass boiler, providing sustainable heating for our workshop, office, and kiln.

Each frame is crafted from hand-selected green oak, graded to D30 or D40 standards—the highest strength grade available for oak in the UK. This commitment to quality and environmental responsibility ensures that every Timberpride annexe is as durable as the forests it comes from.

Planning Permission for Oak Framed Annexes

Knowing whether your annexe will require planning permission can be difficult. At Timberpride, we collaborate with trusted structural engineers and planning consultants to ensure your annexe is designed with planning requirements in mind, giving you confidence as your project moves forward.

Whether it’s for permitted development or a full planning application, our collaborative approach helps create a smoother, more efficient process—saving you time and reducing the risk of delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, oak can be left outside and is highly durable in all weather conditions. Its natural resistance to decay makes it an excellent choice for outdoor structures. Applying raw linseed oil once a year can enhance its weather resistance and protect against insect damage, helping to maintain its strength and appearance. Over time, oak will develop a beautiful silver-grey patina, adding character and charm that many find appealing.

The cost of oak building depends on the size, design complexity, level of customisation, and finishes. Elements such as bespoke architectural features, glazing options, and interior details can also influence the final cost.

For a clearer understanding of the costs involved, we invite you to get in touch with our team at Timberpride. We’d be delighted to have a conversation about your project, offer expert advice, and provide a tailored estimate based on your specific requirements.
