Oak framed extension with a glazed gable and oak cladding, seen from the side across the new patio

Oak framed buildings in Berkshire

Extensions, garages, garden rooms and porches in green oak, built on site by a builder a few minutes from the county line.

Oak framed buildings in Berkshire, from a builder based at Whitchurch Hill, near Reading: just above Pangbourne on the Oxfordshire side of the Thames, which puts Pangbourne, Streatley, Upper Basildon, Yattendon and Reading all inside my 15-mile patch.

I'm Allister, and I do the whole job: the frame is cut from green oak in my workshop, I lay the base and do the ground works myself, then raise the frame on site and finish the roof, glazing and cladding. One company, one person to deal with, from the first trench to the last tile.

The work I do most is the larger kind: kitchen extensions with a glazed gable, orangeries with a roof lantern, two-storey entrances and multi-bay garages. Porches and smaller oak work are welcome too.

What I build in Berkshire

Every frame is made to order for the house it will stand beside. These are the jobs I take on.

Berkshire towns I work in

Pangbourne, Streatley, Upper Basildon, Yattendon, Reading, Wargrave, Wokingham and the villages between. Pangbourne and Streatley are a few minutes from the workshop, Reading and Wargrave a short drive, and Wokingham at the edge of the patch.

Wherever the job is, it runs the same way: a site visit and a free quotation, then the ground works, the frame and the finishing, all by me.

What customers say

A professional building firm. Allister is a genuine guy - reliable, friendly and listened to our needs for our extension. His timber work is beautiful and is passionate about the details. Highly recommended.
Andy Joyce Google review
Allister took on our Oak Orangery project after original contractors pulled out, site had tricky access but he found ways to make it happen, He turned up when he said he would and left the site in a clean and tidy state at the end of each day. Communication was good through out so would not hesitate to recommend his services in the future or contact him again if we want any future work

I can only highly recommend Allister - he and his team have done a great job replacing some external steps to our garage - they look so good that we are considering building an oak garden room to replace our existing. He made it all happen with the minimum of fuss and exactly to our timeframe. Thank you.
