Oak Garage Companies in the UK

Character with Practicality

Oak has been used as a building material for centuries and its strength is legendary, withstanding all sorts of extreme weather. It is also aesthetically pleasing and its beauty increases with age.

While any garage adds value to a home, an oak framed garage will also add a wonderful character and the building will stay looking good for years to come.

Oak is a sustainable resource and managed forests in Britain and across Europe have been producing oak successfully for years.

Oak garages can be a combination of a solid oak frame with softwood cladding and features, or the full works completely oak-clad with oak windows and doors. If all oak is chosen, the timber will gradually acquire an attractive silver patina and no additional treating is needed.

The versatility of oak structures means that garages are often incorporated with office or workshop space in an attractive oak building.

Many oak garage companies offer both a broad range of standard oak framed garages and a bespoke design service.

Standard ranges might include anything from one to four bay garages, or two to four bay garages with accommodation space above. With a bespoke service, the standard sizes or layouts can be changed and extra details added to meet a customer’s specifications; or the company's design team can come up with a totally unique structure.

Often other outbuildings can be included in a bespoke structure, for example garages with adjoining workshops and log stores, or garages with a summerhouse or boathouse.

Many companies will provide a full turnkey service if required, including all essential groundworks and optional extras such as driveways.

Sustainability is important to many customers. Check company websites or ask about the source of the oak used.
