"Off-the-Peg" and Bespoke Framing Solutions

For many clients, our extensive range of “off-the-peg” oak framed buildings offers a convenient solution. 

These pre-designed frames combine versatility with our hallmark quality, catering to a variety of requirements — from garages and garden rooms to annexes and offices.

If your project requires something truly unique, our bespoke framing service is the ideal alternative. 

Over half of the frames we create in our West Sussex workshop are custom-made, meaning your building is perfectly tailored to suit your vision, property, and specific requirements. 

Whether you’re seeking a distinctive roofline, custom dimensions, or additional features, we’ll craft a structure that reflects your individual style and needs.

This open-fronted three-bay barn is clad in oak. The lifespan of oak cladding is greater than softwood timber cladding, but the oak does not perform as well due to shrinkage and splitting. However, with age, it does add more character to the building.

Consider Planning Permissions

For some, the decision about which oak framed building to choose hinges on planning permission requirements. 

Many smaller structures fall under permitted development rights, but larger or more complex projects may require approval.

For further guidance, please visit our Planning Page or speak to our team, who can manage the application process on your behalf.
