Oakmasters specialise in the design and manufacture of bespoke, luxury oak garages and oak outbuildings, such as oak stables, oak barns and commercial oak buildings. As with all our products, the quality of work and service shines through each project and we like to think we make the finest bespoke oak garages available. We now also have a range of ready to build oak garage designs, with unfussy designs and straightforward pricing.

Why choose a bespoke oak garage from Oakmasters?

• Get exactly what you want – our oak framed garages are not mass-produced from standard designs. Rather than pushing products we already have, we will listen to what you need and design a bespoke oak garage just for you. Each oak framed garage or oak outbuilding is made to individual specification and design.  Our in-house, expert oak frame designers will listen to your requirements and work out the best solution for your project, taking into consideration your individual situation and needs. You will get to choose the shape, size and finish of your oak garage, as well as choice in additional features such as garage doors, windows, dormer features, dovecotes and door furniture.
• Superior quality – with Oakmasters, you will get an oak framed garage or oak framed outbuilding of exceptional quality. It won’t be designed with skinny components and minimum bay sizes. Instead we create stunning, tailored oak frames, with unique details and an exceptionally high quality surface finish. We cut each and every joint with great care and attention to detail. We then treat every component with our trademark hand-wrought finish to give the timber a subtly aged appearance.
• 12-year guarantee - we are so confident in our work and we offer a 12-year guarantee on our oak frames and glazing systems. This means that even long after your oak house or oak extension is finished, we are here to help. Not that this keeps us very busy! We can also provide insurance-backed guarantee for the same period of time on request (POA).
• Support throughout your project – From design to completion, we are here to guide you through your oak framed garage build. Starting with concept design and planning application, through engineering and structural calculations, you can rest assured that we will always listen to what you want and suggest the best possible solution. Our manufacturing and assembly teams are highly skilled craftsmen, whose skills are second to none. If you need help with building contractors to carry out general building work such as groundworks, footings and roofing, we will be able to help you through our network of trusted contractors in your area.

What to do next?

It is best to contact us as early as possible, even if it is just for a preliminary chat about what you are thinking of doing. You might find that a friendly chat with our team will give you the right information to carry on with your research. If you are further advanced, here are some useful pointers:

1. You need oak frame garage design or planning permission – we can provide you with a complimentary initial concept design and quote for your oak garage. In certain regions of the country, we can apply for planning on your behalf, if this is required. Please bear in mind that in many cases, planning is not required for a garage. This is dependent on your Local Authority, so always best to check with them for your specific circumstances. Planning service is a subsidised service, which we offer at a very competitive price. Once permission has been granted, you can review the final design and price and place the order for your oak garage at this stage.
2. You already have, or don’t need planning permission – we will work with your existing concepts or your architect’s plans and create a complete set of drawings, specifications and structural calculations for your oak framed garage or oak framed outbuilding, required to satisfy building regulations if required. This service is part of the contract and is very competitively priced. We can then proceed with manufacture.
3. Plan your build – you may have a trusted local building contractor who can assemble the oak frame as well as do the general building work. This is usually a more economical approach, particularly if you are planning to build a smaller oak framed garage, or if you are located further afield from us. In this case, we will work with your teams to supply easy to understand assembly guidelines. We will liaise with them to ensure the oak garage kit is delivered on time and in line with your other project work and support them throughout the assembly process. If you are planning to build a larger structure, or are located near us and require assembly, or building services, we can supply our assembly teams and help the build with our network of trusted building contractors.

No two projects are the same, so please don’t hesitate to call us and chat to us about yours as early as possible.

Oak framed garage package options

1. Building kit – choose this option when you already have a building contractor in place. In this case, we will pre-construct and hand finish your oak framed garage at our premises. The components will then be numbered, the structure disassembled and shipped to your site as a kit, including the appropriate amount of dowel. Plans, assembly instructions and other details for your garage will be part of the package.

2. Supply and assemble frame – choose this option when you are planning a large project, or are located within a reasonable distance for our assembly teams to work on your site. You will need your own general building contractor for groundworks, general building and roofing services. Our assembly team will work with your building contractor and erect the oak frame on your site in sync with your project plan. The assembly will include erecting the full oak frame structure up to the roof level, including full oak frame, studwork, cladding, roof structure and fitting of any joinery you have requested.

3. Complete build – choose this option when you are planning a large project, or are located within a reasonable distance for our assembly teams to work on your site and require a general building contractor. We will assist you with our network of trusted building contractors to take on the build.

Please contact our team to talk about your project. We are more than happy to advise you on which package best suits your needs and budget.

How much does a bespoke oak garage cost?

The end price of your building depends on the ratio of oak and softwood you wish to use. The main structural frame of your garage will always be oak, but you can choose how much of this we use and what the other components are made up from.

For example, a thinner oak frame (e. g. 6”/150 mm square posts) in combination with softwood intermediate studwork and a softwood roof will offer a lower cost alternative, perfect for a single storey car port or storage. On the opposite end of the scale, a chunky oak frame (e. g. 8”/200 mm square posts) with a choice of oak intermediate studwork and large oak roof trusses will give you an impressive oak building, suitable for accommodation, entertainment or commercial use.

Our sales advisers will be happy to discuss your requirements and help you pitch your oak framed garage design at the price that suits your budget.
