Traditional Oak Timber Framing

Green oak framing is an ancient technique that has been used in English building for more than 1000 years. It’s strong, versatile and elegant. At Doyle and Whitley, we practise green oak framing every day, and as such we’ve built up a comprehensive knowledge of how to handle it. Combined with a deep knowledge and love of the traditional techniques, we build the joints and structures needed to create you a truly bespoke frame, that satisfies its structural requirements – and looks stunning from all angles.
