About The Timber Frame Company

The Timber Frame Company has traded continuously since its launch in 1999 and has held fast to its mission to provide quality and value.

The company was founded by managing director, Jim Blackburn. He learnt his craft in conservation and new-build green oak frames as a young framing carpenter and craftsman during the resurgence of oak framing in the early 1990’s. He believes that combined with sound carpentry knowledge and framing experience, the key to producing great timber frame buildings starts with design. Good design is not just about producing something that is aesthetically pleasing, it is also about communication; from early ideas to construction information, delivering reliable, quality craftsmanship and best value to the client. 

We are passionate about our raw materials and take great care over their source, selection and use. Wood is an extraordinary material to work with, which we are all passionate about and enjoy long and friendly relationships with our suppliers and sawmills whose ongoing support is vital to the quality of our frames.

Our long standing specialist carpentry teams have a very broad range of extraordinary skills, experience and equipment that underpin the TFCo’s broad portfolio of work. We proudly support the Carpenter’s Fellowship, an important organisation and ally of our ancient craft.
