Oakmasters

What Oakmasters does

Oakmasters is a UK-based, family-owned manufacturer of bespoke oak and timber frame kits, operating from West Sussex since 1995 (registered as Oakmasters Ltd, company number 03892478). The company produces precision-manufactured frame kits for residential and commercial applications — spanning oak framed houses, extensions, garden rooms and orangeries, garages and outbuildings, porches, pergolas and gazebos, swimming pool buildings, roof trusses, beams and components, exterior staircases, and cosmetic oak cladding. Manufacturing combines state-of-the-art CNC cutting and 3D CAD/CAM technology for millimetre-precise joinery with traditional hand-wrought finishing, and the company holds a TRADA-approved encapsulated glazing system developed specifically for green oak frames. Oak is sourced from PEFC-certified sustainable European and UK forests, and all frames carry a 12-year structural guarantee.

The business operates on a direct-to-customer, quote-based model without public e-commerce, generating revenue through kit sales and supplementary professional services including design consultancy, planning application support, structural engineering calculations, optional assembly via a national contractor network, and independent surveying through a partnership with Eddie Hamilton covering South East England. Customer segments span trade professionals (builders, timber frame companies), self-builders, architects and surveyors, homeowners seeking extensions or garden rooms, and property developers — with project evidence ranging from individual residential commissions (a Jersey granite cottage, a Sussex listed cottage, a Manx oak and stone house) to commercial applications including supermarket cladding. Distribution is primarily UK-focused with demonstrated capability to serve the Channel Islands (Jersey) and Isle of Man.

The company employs 11-50 people across its Haywards Heath manufacturing facility and Partridge Green registered office, operates without external venture or private equity investment, and is structured as a streamlined manufacturing operation that partners with specialist designers and installers rather than maintaining large in-house design or installation teams.
