About Us

Heartwood Timber Frames was set up by Richard Wilkinson in 2007 after working for a number of years at other framing companies, most notably Westwind Oak, Carpenter Oak and Woodland, and Carpenter Oak.

We provide individual bespoke timber framed buildings for both private and commercial clients.

During the frame design process we work directly with the client and architect, structural engineer, main contractors and affiliated experts. The architect or client will usually send us drawings of their idea for a timber framed structure. We translate this into a frame drawing using specialist software, allowing us to ensure the design will work structurally, and giving the client a clear visualization of the finished frame. Once the frame design has been finalised and cleared with our engineers, we are ready to begin production.

We value working as part of a design-build team adding our specialist skills and knowledge to the project. While we do not provide architectural design services, we are glad to work with your architect. If you do not yet have an architect, we will be glad to discuss your project with you and recommend one.
