Flimwell Workshops

The construction of these timber buildings was experimental. The brief was to try to build in timber for the same cost as a steel portal frame, but without compromising the design. The wall and roof frames are pre-manufactured panels to make installation as rapid and easy as possible, and are clad in locally sourced Larch and Chestnut. The structural frame is fabricated from locally sourced Douglas Fir beams fabricated in our workshops and brought to site assembled ready to lift into position. Only partly successful these buildings are nevertheless a great improvement on a steel portal framed building, and create attractive industrial units. (Photography: Paul Riddle)
Each of the buildings has a mezzanine floor inserted to make the office space above the workshops. A polycarbonate roof brings light into the building. (Photography: Paul Riddle)
The overall quality achieved was very high and the detailing excellent. (Photography: Paul Riddle)
“"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
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."

“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"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
“"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."
