We are able to fabricate trusses in reclaimed oak, air-dried oak-like these, or green oak. We can give an accurate costing from the designs given or we can design trusses ourselves and give detailed 3D mock-ups of what will be created.

Please feel free to contact us with any enquiries.

This addition included a new kitchen and a snug, forming a stunning oak-framed link between the main […]
