Oak may represent one of civilisation’s most enduring choices of building material–and at Oaksmiths we have made an art of continuing this tradition. For us, there is more in the use of oak than its strength, remarkable though it may be.

Oaksmiths: Our Services, Our Art

At Oaksmiths, the bespoke porches we create are much more than functional additions to a home. Strength and durability; added exterior space; even added value to your home: all of these things make oak porches a valuable investment. But we understand that our homes are not just functional spaces and certainly not just an investment–every inch of it becomes a part of you, imbued with life, joy, and memory. We can create an oak porch that works with your home to perfect your ideal vision. Whether you have a clear sense of the finished product in your mind, or you are a blank slate waiting for the sort of design inspiration in which we are experts, Oaksmiths can help.

Materials & Supply: Protecting Our Future

Whether it’s the largest-scale construction project or a delicate and bespoke crafting service like ours, construction and building habits are changing. We take the same level of care in our approach to selecting and treating the oak we use as we do to crafting the final product. Using only PEFC-certified suppliers, our mission is holistic–providing an exquisite end-product and protecting the future of our forests while we do.

Oak Porches: Bespoke & Handcrafted

Oak porches are nothing if not versatile. Equally, it takes years of skill, knowledge, and training to take full advantage of that versatility. it is typical to think of oak as a material exclusively traditional or “rustic” in its effect. If this is the vision you have for your oak porch, then it certainly makes an elegant and charming choice that can create or add to a more traditional aesthetic. But oak can equally create a stylish, modern look,  adaptable to homes and even businesses of all kinds. Whether as a contrast or a complement to the style of the existing structure, handcrafted oak porches like ours can be a stunning statement piece or a subtle accent. A properly made oak porch will endure many years, being much stronger than seasoned timber.

We’re Wating to Work With You

Oak may have been in use since before the people of Britain even farmed the land, but this only stands as a testament to its wondrous properties. We bring 21st-century skill and craftsmanship to the crafting of bespoke oak porches, while also being deeply aware of the history and value of this most enduring material–get in touch with us to discuss your vision.
