About Carpenter Oak

---

Combining technical design, master craftsmanship and exquisite materials to create stunning spaces.

Carpenter Oak is a timber framing specialist with a wide range of expertise. We design, craft and raise timber frames, and have done for almost four decades. Our specialist knowledge, experience and skills ensures each project is beautifully conceived and constructed.

Decades of experience.
Our team are at the core of what we do, and their skills bring structural timber framed buildings to life. Using Computer Aided Design tools alongside our traditional timber framing knowledge enables us to create truly bespoke buildings.
In-house fabrication.
Our carpenters are adept at translating bespoke design and they specialise in traditional principals of framing, using hand-held tools. This long-established craft is combined with modern techniques for a precise and efficient process.
Focused on the detail.
Everything is considered, from practical considerations to aesthetic details, from calculations of roof geometry to the logistics for frame raising, our focus is on ensuring a smooth project from start to finish.

Our reputation is built on the strength of our team.
We have been dedicated to delivering visionary timber-framed buildings since 1987.

Based in Wiltshire, the original company was founded by craftsman Charley Brentnall and architect Roderick James.
The first oak framed house constructed in the South Hams – replacing a 1950s bungalow. The full height vaulted ceiling showcases the exposed beams and rafters of oak. The large, hand stencilled, open fireplace is framed by the huge, iconic arched braces.
