Dear Paul I just want to say a big thank you to you and your team at English Oak frames, we were so lucky to have been directed to you for the design and build of our amazing home, we could not of asked for anything more. You have been patient throughout, nothing was too much trouble for you. You listened to our ideas and made them come alive, you have offered advice throughout which has been invaluable. Your attention to detail on the design of our home has been second to none, the customer service has been amazing and your team have been fab, so friendly!

We have so many features to look at, we never get bored of just admiring them! We now have the pleasure of owning an absolutely stunning oak framed family home, it takes our breath away just how stunning it is, we can't quite believe its ours.

We employed English Oak Frames to design and build a green oak extension to our 17th Century home, comprising a large kitchen, utility room and bathroom. We are delighted with the result, it is a lovely space to live in. The quality is high with some lovely design touches. English Oak Frames were easy to work with, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend them and would certainly use them again should we take on a new project.

Having not worked on a traditional oak frame building before, English Oak Frames were very helpful in working through the construction detailing and methodology as well as arranging visits to built examples. The frame was prepared and erected on time, with Paul Hicks available to deal with follow on queries. It would be a pleasure to work with English Oak Frames again.

Four and a half years ago I started an amazing renovation project on a Grade II listed timber framed farmhouse, which at the time was suffering from neglect and needed major structural repairs. Around two years ago I contacted Paul from English Oak Frames Ltd to discuss the possibility of constructing an oak-framed garden room. Paul is inspirational and extremely experienced; he listened carefully to my requirements and then quickly set to work designing the most beautiful self-supporting structural garden room, which would cause no further impairment to the existing building, as he knew that this would be an important factor in gaining planning permission for a 400 yr old property. We were thrilled when the garden room was approved by planners; the design was contemporary with a traditional twist that complimented the original house, whilst remaining sympathetic to the historic building. The build was completed to the highest specification and outstanding quality by Paul and his team of exceptional qualified craftsmen specializing in oak framed buildings. Since then, Paul has designed and completed three further projects for us, including a spectacular breakfast/dining room which is superb for entertaining, a stunning porch which has made the entrance to the farmhouse hugely inviting, and a double-bay carport with workshops, log stores and a gym. With Paul’s help and expertise we have transformed our dilapidated farmhouse into a luxury property, and Paul’s designs have enhanced our now beautiful home and greatly added to its value. Paul is extremely knowledgeable in the design, planning and build industry, he pays extraordinary attention to detail and is passionate about his work; it is most important to Paul that the end product is of a high standard, to his customers’ satisfaction and meets initial and any further requirements. He does not lose sight of this and strives to meet this at all times. Paul is personable, fair and trustworthy and we have maintained an excellent working relationship throughout, being kept informed at all times with constant updates on progress and regular contact. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul and his specialist team for all their hard work and would highly recommend English Oak Frames Ltd to anyone considering an oak framed build.

I couldn't recommend English Oak Frames more highly. We called in the help of Paul at the early stages of building our barn style home. After worrying that the finished result would still have a 'new build feel', Paul took us in hand and came up with the perfect design to give our home an authentic barn look which exceeded our expectations to the point where visitors ask if it's a converted barn!! They were a fabulously friendly and talented team to have around.

Paul's company is great to work with. He takes ownership of every project ensuring the highest standards are delivered. We've created some beautiful Oak extensions with this company, where the finishing details are well thought through.

I have used English Oak Frames on a number of jobs to add a contemporary addition to a historic building. I have found them extremely helpful, with great ideas and experience. They have stuck to their original quote and managed the jobs efficiently, sticking to both budget and programme. I would have no hesitation recommending them.
