Timber Structures

Timber Frames
Creating timber framed buildings is the core of our business; it is also our passion. We offer a complete timber framing service from design through construction to the final raising of the timber frame. Here's how we work:

Design
We offer a comprehensive design service to help get your timber frame project off to a good start. We can either design the whole project in house or we can work with your existing architects, structural engineers and builders. We have a comprehensive knowledge of traditional timber framing and contemporary building techniques and understand how to produce designs that work with the most modern and the most ancient of building materials.

Construction
Our timber frames are prepared at our workshops and timber yard at Holcombe Rogus near Wellington in Somerset. Having a covered yard means that the heavy oak carpentry can continue whatever the weather. This is where our team of highly skilled joiners work to assemble your timber frame, marking and cutting the beams and complex joints.

Raising
Seeing a timber frame being raised is a beautiful sight. Watching our skilled craftsmen assemble and raise a timber frame from the ground up is a most captivating experience. Timber framed buildings like these have been raised by mankind for thousands of years and once raised a timber framed structured will likely be there for thousands of years in to the future.

We specialise in Green Oak, Douglas Fir timber frames. We can help you with every stage of your timber framing project from initial design through the construction phase to the final raising and finishing of the frame.

Bespoke Wooden Staircases
We hand-build our bespoke staircases to the highest levels of craftsmanship. We offer tailor-made stairs to meet your specific needs, hand built staircases made to the highest quality and utmost standards of craftsmanship by our experienced carpenters.

Traditional Staircases
We specialise in the design and construction of traditional staircases. Often built in solid oak to match existing exposed timber work our traditional staircases will fit the period and style of your interior.

The fact that we hand build our staircases means that we have complete control over the whole staircase from the larger decisions such as number of steps and turns to the finer details of the design such as the handrail, the spindles and the newel posts.

Contemporary Staircases
We also build contemporary staircases, often integrating other materials such as steel and glass to create bespoke staircases with a more modern look and feel. These staircases work well in more contemporary surroundings and can set the tone of a modern living space.
