This lovely 9 bay barn repaired by The Green Oak Carpentry Company has two porches at the ‘mid-strey’ in bays 3 and 7, giving wagon access to these and the other bays for loading and storage. The barn, kept as a single open volume of space, makes a wonderful wedding venue and is situated near Rickmansworth. Timber boarding is weathered oak left to colour naturally.
The porches have been added as new in a manner sympathetic to the original barn structure. Oak joinery is clad externally with the glazing retained with oak cappings, a patent glazing system has been used for the roof, all of which ensure trouble free operation and longevity of the primary timber frame of the porches.
Retention of as much of the historic fabric as possible is vital to a successful repair. A light touch is always better, as once lost the original structure cannot be put back. It is important to accept the quirkiness of the structure and make good decisions based upon sound conservation principles. Black metalwork has been used for the tie-straps, etc., lighting conduits and chandeliers, very much in keeping with the rustic aesthetic.
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
“"Thanks for the excellent job which has just been completed on the Oak Frame extension to the above property. Not only is the quality of the work faultless, it is a true work of art, which will bring endless enjoyment to me and my wife. The end result has surpassed our wildest expectations."
Ray Nicolaides
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
