At Hilden’s Bespoke Builders, we specialise in constructing custom oak-built structures and timber framing. We take pride in our ability to create unique, handcrafted structures that complement the natural beauty of their surroundings while providing unparalleled strength and durability.
Our custom oak-built structures are created using traditional techniques that have been used for centuries. We source only the finest quality oak, which is carefully selected for its strength, durability, and beauty. Each piece of oak is then handcrafted by our team of skilled craftsmen, who have years of experience in working with this versatile and timeless material.
We understand that each project is unique, which is why we work closely with our clients to create a design that meets their specific needs and preferences. Whether you are looking for a stunning oak-framed extension to your home, a bespoke garden room, or a traditional timber-framed barn, we have the skills and expertise to deliver a project that exceeds your expectations.
In addition to our custom oak-built structures, we also offer a range of timber framing services. We use only the finest quality timber, which is sourced from sustainable forests, and our team of skilled craftsmen uses traditional techniques to create strong and durable structures that will stand the test of time.
One of the key challenges in constructing custom oak-built structures and timber framing is working with the natural characteristics of the materials. Oak and timber have unique properties that must be carefully considered when designing and constructing a structure. This is particularly important when working with heritage properties, where the original features and character of the building must be preserved.
At Hilden’s Bespoke Builders, we have years of experience in working with heritage properties, and we understand the challenges involved in creating new structures that complement and enhance the existing building. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the finished project is sympathetic to the original property and fits seamlessly into its surroundings.






An oak frame building is a traditional construction method using solid oak beams and joinery. It creates strong, durable and visually striking structures that combine heritage craftsmanship with modern building performance.
Costs vary depending on size, design and specification. Smaller oak structures such as porches or garden rooms may start from £10,000+, while larger oak frame homes and extensions can exceed £100,000+. We provide detailed quotations for every project.

In many cases, yes. Most oak frame structures require planning approval, especially for extensions and new builds. We manage the full process and work with local Surrey planning authorities to ensure compliance.
