For nearly four decades, Carpenter Oak has specialised in the bespoke design, handcrafting, and installation of structural timber frames – for homes, extensions, and outbuildings across Scotland.

Whether you’re planning a garden office, guest annexe, or a larger living space, each structure is designed to suit your needs.
Carpenter Oak’s experienced team is here to guide you through every stage of your self-build journey, offering expert advice on materials, timber selection, structural detailing, and more. Crafted from the highest quality, sustainably-sourced timber, each frame is built to last. The team are proud to offer outstanding service and workmanship.
Why choose timber? Timber offers a rare combination of beauty, strength, and soul. Visually, no two pieces are the same; it brings warmth, texture, and a natural elegance that defines a space. It’s also a smart, sustainable choice. As a renewable, low-carbon material, responsibly sourced timber supports a more environmentally conscious way to build.
