The Team
Frontier Oak was founded by two school friends who have spent over a decade immersed in the oak frame construction industry. Having worked side by side for much of that time, we combine deep technical knowledge with a shared respect for traditional craftsmanship.
We are meticulous in our approach, uncompromising on quality, and proud of the standard of work we deliver. Just as importantly, we value close, collaborative relationships with our clients - taking the time to understand their ambitions and translating them into oak framed buildings crafted with care, precision, and integrity.
“We had a really positive experience working with Frontier Oak, who are specialists in oak frame construction.
They took the time to listen to what we wanted and were always happy to adapt and evolve the plans as the build progressed.
Communication was great throughout, and everyone on the team was friendly, polite, and genuinely easy to have around. We’re delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Frontier Oak to anyone looking for an oak frame builder.”
