Oak Frame Extensions
Beautifully Crafted Oak Framed Extensions
More and more homeowners are choosing to extend their homes with oak frame extensions to make the most of their existing homes without the hassle of moving.
An oak frame extension can be designed to complement the style of an existing building or offer something in contrast. Typically, our oak framed extensions feature large areas of glazing, open plan spaces with vaulted ceilings and beautifully crafted roof trusses, arching over the spaces within.
With over 30 years of experience, our team specialises in developing beautiful oak houses, extensions and conservatories designed to compliment your existing property.
From the initial consultation, we work closely with you to understand your vision, offering flexible and bespoke design solutions that complement your home’s architecture.
Why Choose an Oak Extension?
Oak extensions are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to elevate the look of their property to modernise or simply to create an additional living space! Many opt for oak frames because they blend well with traditional and modern architectural styles, creating a versatile and characterful space that compliments the home’s aesthetic.
Oak’s natural ageing adds beauty and value over time, while large areas of glazing are often used to bring in natural light and create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Oak is also an eco-friendly choice, as it locks in carbon over its lifetime and is sourced from certified forests.
In many cases, oak framed extensions can be built under “permitted development rights,” which means you might not need full planning permission. However, we highly recommend verifying this with your local council, as restrictions can apply, particularly if your home is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, or conservation.
