Traditional techniques, 21st Century living

What makes Border Oak different?
We are a family run business specialising in self and custom build. Our long heritage is underpinned by unrivalled experience & knowledge, forged over 5 decades of bespoke projects.
We have created a trusted brand – based on craft, fairness and quality – that we are very proud of. We care passionately about our product and our clients. We are rooted in both design and construction, both are fundamental
We have always been forward facing yet traditionally minded – pioneering innovation when needed, yet striving to preserve craftsmanship and celebrate heritage.
All of our oak frames are made by hand in our workshops in rural Herefordshire. We use only the finest & most sustainable green oak (alongside a range of other natural materials & products).
Design, build quality, service, sustainability and innovation remain our founding principles.
Our homes are unmatched.

Outbuildings
Explore our oak framed Outbuildings
We also make a wide range of oak framed outbuildings, annexes, garden buildings and ancillary structures.
All of our outbuildings are designed to last – handmade from the finest natural materials, based upon vernacular design & traditional craftsmanship. We have a range of modular ‘Classic’ models alongside bespoke options, plus a range of beautiful garden buildings.
Most of our outbuildings have been conceived with self assembly in mind, but we also offer a full construction service where needed.
Perfect Plots
We know how hard it can be to find a great plot. However this is our specialism and we are here to help. We normally have a number of ‘ready to buy & build’ Border Oak plots – each with detailed planning approval, infrastructure & prepared legal packages.
We can also offer feedback and support for a plot you may find in your chosen area.
We’ve put together a handy ‘Plot Finding‘ guide based our own experiences & industry knowledge which might be useful too – and case studies can be found across our website.
