Black Bear Timber Framing Traditional & Contemporary Oak Frames
We create bespoke oak framed structures, from porches and garden rooms to extensions and complete frames, combining traditional joinery with a refined, modern approach.
Porches and Garden Rooms
Bespoke oak framed porches, pergolas and garden rooms designed to enhance existing homes and landscapes.
Structures are carefully proportioned and traditionally jointed, offering longevity, character and a natural connection between house and garden.
Oak Frame Extensions
Single storey and multi bay oak frame extensions, suitable for glazed rooms, kitchens and dining spaces.
Frames are fabricated off site and raised efficiently on site, allowing for accuracy, quality control and minimal disruption during installation.
Timber Frame House Builds
Complete oak frame structures built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery.
Projects can be supplied as a frame only package or supplied and raised on site as part of a collaborative design and build process.
Timeless Craftsmanship
Handcrafted oak frames with exceptional attention to detail.
Custom Design
Bespoke oak frames crafted around your vision, with every beam designed to suit your home, site, and lifestyle.
Sustainability
Responsibly sourced UK and European oak for a naturally low-carbon, long-lasting structure.
Our Process and Projects
Every project we craft is unique, but they all share the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship. A clear and considered process underpins all work.
From early design input and technical advice through to workshop fabrication and on site raising, each stage is handled with care and attention to detail.
