About Us

Oak Frames Direct is a leading specialist in the supply of oak frames to the self-build and trade market. The company’s philosophy is centred on offering a simple, fast and efficient service that allows customers to easily configure their own frames according to their desired dimensions. Kits come complete with easy-to-follow instructions plus all the nails and fixings you need to get your frame off the ground.

Years of experience has allowed us to offer not only standard oak frame designs, but bespoke structures too. We have a team of knowledgeable sales consultants who can guide you through your design if needed and our skilled time-served CAD designers in the drawing office can assist with any technical queries should you require any reassurance on the feasibility of your design.

We understand that a smooth project takes some planning. With that, we strive to help our customers obtain planning permission with a comprehensive planning drawing pack. These drawings contain all the information your local authority will need to make that all important decision about your proposed building or structure.  View our current planning drawing offers here.

No compromise on quality

Our timber selectors inspect each piece of timber before and after machining to ensure that it continues to meet our stringent quality levels throughout the process. Any pieces which fail our quality control checks are immediately replaced.
