Welcome to the Timber Frame Company

The Timber Frame Company specialises in the design and production of heavy structural timber frame buildings.  We have worked on a wide variety of buildings including oak framed houses and extensions, eco-cabins in the woods and even a spire at Wells Cathedral!

We are based in Somerset and value working both directly with clients, or among other professionals as part of a wider design team.

Design

We are leading experts in our field and have a wealth of experience that is hard to rival.  Alongside a thorough knowledge of traditional and modern heavy structural timber frame design we have also innovated techniques and processes which have been implemented across our industry.

Our frames are designed with state-of-the-art CAD software and incorporate appropriate traditional joinery, contemporary techniques and materials that comply with modern building standards.

Carpentry

Our timber frame buildings are prepared by teams of skilled craftsmen who mark out and cut all the joints by hand. The team that we select to cut your frame, will raise it on site.  Where appropriate we may opt for a frame to be machine cut and finished by hand.

Timber

We currently source UK timber for the majority of our frames and support the Forestry Stewardship Council scheme by using accredited oak, larch & Douglas fir from sustainable sources wherever possible.  To ensure that we always purchase and select the best possible timbers for each element, we maintain long standing relationships with our suppliers and we have a qualified timber grader on our staff. 

Building

Our portfolio is very wide  and includes: oak frame houses, oak frame garden rooms, oak frame conservatories, oak frame outbuildings and structures, self build oak frames, self build eco houses, sustainable houses incorporating Douglas Fir or larch, post and beam timber frames, oak frame swimming pools, commercial timber frame buildings,  and contemporary timber frames for commercial and domestic projects nationwide.
