Why Us

Complete Service
Our carpenters offer a ‘Complete Service’. They will attend an initial briefing meeting, discuss the technical detail of the frame and then set out the timbers ready to be scribed and cut.
The entire frame will be fabricated in our workshop near Bath and pre-assembled with temporary metal pegs before travelling to site. This trial frame assembly ensures that the on-site work runs smoothly with few issues.
The same carpenter who attended that initial briefing meeting and set out the individual timbers at the start of the project will be the one raising your frame; the satisfaction of seeing what he/she has worked on over the previous few weeks/months, now raised and being used, is an immense feeling.

GUIDANCE
Deciding to start a building project can be a daunting prospect. English Oak Buildings understands this and has methods in place to ensure that the oak frame element is as effortless and fluid as possible.
We will listen to your ideas and thoughts, look at your drawings and sketches and begin a design that we agree together, one that will truly suit your wishes and style, and will be within the build’s restrictions. This initial process takes as long as it needs to, then we will guide you through the detailed design stage and help with planning where possible.
Once the project is up and running, we will work with other trades to ensure a seamless transition and the raising of your frame with the minimum of fuss. At this stage you will move from the guidance of the office staff to our trusted team of carpenters and Workshop Manager.
