OAK FRAME DESIGN
Restoration and Conservation.
At The Oak Frame Carpentry Company, our extensive expertise and experience set us apart in the meticulous process of restoring oak frame buildings, including both Grade 1 and Grade 2 listed structures. We begin with a detailed survey which includes a thorough assessment of the building’s structure and condition, identifying areas of decay or damage with a keen eye.
Our skilled craftsmen, adept in the repair of ancient timber structures, then carefully repair or replace damaged timbers using traditional techniques and tools to match the original construction as closely as possible. This may involve sourcing aged oak to ensure consistency in appearance and durability. Our expertise also allows us to employ modern interventions, such as treating the wood to prevent future decay and integrating discreet structural supports, enhancing the building’s longevity without compromising its historical integrity.
Our experienced craftsmen excel in maintaining the building’s original character while ensuring full structural integrity. We survey historic timber frames and provide a comprehensive schedule of works as required. Attention to detail is paramount, from replicating intricate joinery to applying decorative features like chamfers, mouldings, and carvings in harmony with existing details. Our restoration projects offer fascinating insights into historical carpentry practices, allowing us to accrue practical knowledge through the careful analysis of tool marks and ancient construction techniques. At The Oak Frame Carpentry Company, our successful restorations not only revive the beauty and utility of these heritage structures but also foster an appreciation for traditional building techniques and the enduring qualities of oak as a building material.
