Oak Frames
The timber frame structures are bespoke designed to suit each individual project. The team utilises reliable, tried and tested traditional jointing techniques in conjunction with the geographic locality in which the frame will be situated. This ensures that the building will blend into its surrounding area and also be compliant with planning regulations. Every joint is hand-finished to guarantee a perfect fit and the frames are pre-assembled within the workshop using jigs and gauge rods. The dowels are all hand-crafted using superior quality dry oak timber. The company workshop stocks between 80 and 100 tonnes of timber at any one time and can cut, shape and mill oak trees of up to 11 metres in length and 1 metre wide.
The team at Essex Oak Frame appreciates that any prospective house-build or project is likely to be one of the most daunting and expensive tasks a client will ever be involved with and therefore actively encourages visits to the workshop and meetings with the designers. This enables the client to see how the construction is going and to make additional requests, as required.
