Tropical Hardwoods

Whether it’s a traditional look you’re seeking − or a more contemporary style − oak framed buildings enhance any property and add value to your home. From traditional cart lodge style garages to garden offices and porches, we have a range of self-assembly structures available for you to personalise to your own requirements.

Using a centuries old design, the structure is supplied ready for construction using the traditional method of draw pegged mortise and tenon joints with curved knee braces and a variety of vaulted roof structures. All timber framed buildings are individually CAD designed for a perfect fit.

We have a range of roof shingles, decking, cladding and flooring to help you finish your project.

Oak frames are natural materials and as such, may display certain characteristics which are normal and expected. Due to the nature of oak, shrinking and cracking are all part of its character.

Oak will weather to a beautiful silvery grey colour over time and any joinery, hinges or weatherboard may require ongoing maintenance and decoration for optimum performance.

European Oak Beams
We keep extensive stocks of QPA grade European oak beams in thicknesses from 26mm to 400mm.

Should you require it, our graders are full trained to visually grade both temperate and tropical hardwood timber to meet the requirements of BS:5756(2007).

Home grown timber, was supplied by us for the magnificent restoration of Abbey Barn in Glastonbury. Take a look at Inn The Park, St James’ Park in London which was completed with Whitmore’s supplied oak beams.

Our constructional timber is used in building restoration, new construction projects, flooring, sea defences, rivers, canals, as well as boatbuilding, fencing and gates. We stock an extensive range of construction sizes, in lengths up to 50 ft suitable for Churches, Inns, and country houses.

Hardwood has been used in construction and furniture making for thousands of years and is one of the most widely used building materials today.

Timber is naturally renewable, recyclable and energy efficient and has a natural beauty which is unrivaled among other building materials.

Whitmore’s Timber works closely with our partners across several continents to ensure we can responsibly offer a large range of hardwood species. As well as our vast stock holding, we also regularly bring in non-stock species to meet specific customer requirements.

We are particularly passionate about Oak and keep large volumes of Kiln and Air-dried Oak in a range of grades as well as cutting fresh sawn Oak from the log to order.
