Trusted General Contractors in Cobham

We have been conditioned to expect uniform, sterile building types, but we all instinctively love the warmth, tactility and homeliness oak framed houses & extensions can offer. Modern oak framed houses combine beautiful, tactile wood with large amounts of glass to create a stunning light-filled space, conducive to how we live today. An oak frame will stir your emotions and give you a feeling that no other style of building will offer. All our oak framed buildings are built to your exact specifications. Your space can have a barn feel or a smoother more contemporary finish. We can also incorporate an oak framed element into a traditional block and brick build to achieve the look you desire. Our frames are built in the workshop, meaning that there is no disruption onsite until the frame is ready to go up. This normally takes 2 to 5 days subject to the size of the frame.

Yes. We offer the external glazing systems design, which avoids the issues often associated with glazing to an oak frame. We would strongly recommend that if you are ordering an oak frame, that you only do so with a company that can also supply the glazing. This ensures that the frame will be built to a standard to accommodate the face applied glazing system.

We would recommend talking to us at the very beginning of the design process. We would of course like to be building your oak framed house when the time comes but if we are able to assist your architect in the early stages then this is likely to save you time, hassle and money in the long run.
