Oak is a material commonly renowned for its strength, durability and resistance to the elements. It is one of the only materials used in construction that requires barely any maintenance.
If you’re considering purchasing a green oak framed garage, our team have provided a few major benefits that come with installing oak garages.
We are recent winners of the prestigious South East Best Rural Manufacturing Business award. The award looks into 17 different categories and is marked and assessed by five judges. We are also marked on our company’s history, ethics, rural credentials, branding, customer service and individuality. We are extremely proud to be crowned this year’s winners and are looking forward to the next submission date.
One of the main reasons people are now opting for oak framed garages is because of their eco properties. The use of oak in construction naturally helps us reduce our carbon footprint (especially if the wood used is sourced ethically and sustainably). Timber is also known to absorb large amounts of CO2 emissions, a direct contrast to metals such as iron, steel and metal castings, which have a worse impact on CO2 emissions. Additionally, for every oak tree our team cuts down, we plant three more in its place. The oak beams we use are designed to be long-lasting, meaning each of our oak frames helps reduce the amount of CO2 entering our atmosphere. The lifespan of your oak garage is able to last a lifetime if the rest of your property is maintained and well looked after.
The green oak beams we use at English Heritage Buildings (EHB) are strong, hard and exceptionally resistant to moisture. Our traditional oak frame garages are crafted with precision. This ensures that the oak frames’ strength and integrity are not compromised and that they maintain their aesthetic appeal. Unlike several metal garage options (which have limited design options and are prone to discolouration and rusting), our garages come in a variety of wooden designs and they’re easier to construct, minimising labour time on site. Additionally, we remain the only oak-frame manufacturer in the UK to be awarded the Exova BM Trada Q-Mark. This award is accredited by UKAS who are one of the leading certification divisions in the construction industry. Achieving the Q-Mark production certification is something we’re incredibly proud of and has put us ahead of our competitors in the market.
Oak garages also have the added benefit of being easy to construct. Unlike other garage materials (predominantly steel), oak garages take a matter of days to be constructed. They also have a fairly dry construction process as opposed to using bricks and mortar. Bricks and mortar naturally have a slower drying time because of the materials used, whereas electrical and plastering tasks can begin on oak materials as soon as the frame is watertight. So, if you’re on a tight time frame, oak garages provide a swift installation option.
Our oak garage doors come in a variety of designs and are completely custom-built to fit your dimensions. Oak offers a far more historic and ‘natural’ appearance, which can be worked into any commercial or residential property design. English Heritage Buildings offers a range of oak frame garage designs that can be built to match your property’s unique design.
All wooden materials are known to harbour positive insulation properties due to the air pockets within their cellular structures. This means that they’re generally better at retaining heat than other materials such as steel, aluminium and masonry materials. As a result, garages made from our oak require less energy to heat and cool, meaning you’ll end up paying less on your energy bills. Researchers from Lincoln University also discovered that solid wood has over 2.5x the thermal mass of concrete.
Oak is widely understood to be a material that is maintenance free. This is because, as time goes on, the natural tannins and properties within the timber react and adapt to their environment. This usually comes with a slight colour change, but this is not a sign of the timber losing its durability. However, if you’d rather your oak frame retains its original colour, then there are a few ways to treat it: Sealing and treating – oak generally requires very little maintenance, but its colour will be affected by the changing of the seasons. Your oak garage’s original colour can be maintained if it’s sealed before the final installation process. However, if you opt for this route, then constant sealing and treatment will be required as the weather will strip the colour each year. We would advise to consult a professional decorator on these elements as they will know which are the best long-lasting products to apply. Splits and Fissures – these are to be expected, as oak beams dry through the seasons, causing them to shrink. This process is a result of the properties within the oak thinning and pulling away from each other, resulting in hairline cracks that expand over time. This is completely natural and ultimately unavoidable. It does not impact the strength or durability of the wood. Many people actually enjoy the splitting and cracking of the wood, as it gives a more natural look to their oak garage.

Discover how we can bring your dream oak garage to life.
We take pride in using only the highest-quality materials. Every oak frame is made from visually graded, sustainable oak beams that are precision-cut and hand-finished for optimal performance and durability. This attention to detail ensures that your garage meets all structural expectations while maintaining the timeless elegance and authentic, classic aesthetics that only oak can provide.
All of our timber garages are made from green oak and Douglas Fir wood, sourced from a sustainable, managed site in France. This wood is grown to be as tall, straight, and strong as possible, maximising the amount we can use in our work and minimising waste. Any beams not considered suitable for manufacturing are responsibly recycled.
We’re proud to be the only oak framed building company in the UK to hold the prestigious TRADA Q-Mark certification. This certification is a testament to the rigorous quality standards we uphold in every project we undertake, from sourcing materials to final finishes.
The Q-Mark is one of the most demanding certification processes in the construction industry, and achieving it means our oak frame garages have passed 22 stringent industry standards. The certification is reviewed yearly, too, ensuring consistency in our level of quality.
Here at English Heritage Buildings (EHB), we have over 35 years’ experience in the building industry and specialise in providing bespoke oak garages made to fit your property. We also install oak buildings, office complexes and more.

One of the standout advantages of choosing an oak framed garage from English Heritage Buildings is the ease and efficiency of installation. Thanks to our precision manufacturing, expert craftsmanship, and use of traditional jointing techniques, all our frames are easy to assemble and should slot neatly together, while also offering enhanced structural integrity.
For added convenience, we include a comprehensive, user-friendly installation manual with every oak framed garage. This step-by-step guide ensures that the assembly process is smooth and straightforward for installers, even if they are unfamiliar with oak frame construction.
While we make the process as simple as possible, we understand that some clients prefer professional installation support. That’s why we are happy to recommend experienced third-party installers in your local area who specialise in assembling oak framed buildings.
These trusted professionals share our commitment to exceptional products and service. They will ensure your garage is installed to the highest standards, so you can enjoy your new space with complete peace of mind.

Prices for oak framed garage designs will vary depending on size and complexity. For example, one-storey single-bay oak frame garages will cost less than timber framed designs with a number of bays, an outside storage space, and a room above.
In most cases, however, our garages will cost somewhere between £5,000 and £35,000.
With nearly four decades working with green oak, we are at the forefront of our industry and are proud of the work we’ve done in the past and will continue to do in the future.
We are the UK’s only oak framed building company to carry an EXOVA BM Trada Q-Mark, which means that with us you get a standard that you cannot get elsewhere.
We are the recent winners of the South East Best Rural Manufacturing Business Award.
