How We Work
Loosehanger Oak offers a bespoke service for oak construction. We undertake the entire process, overseeing everything from beginning to end and taking care of all elements of each project. We do not offer kits or frame-only options – our personal, hands-on approach means that each project that we undertake is utterly unique. We understand that every project is different, and are uniquely positioned to tailor all elements to meet our clients’ specific needs and desires.
“Gary and his team at Loosehanger Oak have done a marvellous job of converting an oak outhouse into a stunning building, which goes way beyond my expectations. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was second to none and they managed to work within the budget. It was a pleasure to have such obliging people on-site; they were always willing to answer any questions and deal with any unforeseen problems. I would not hesitate to recommend this family firm to any discerning client.”.

Oak is for Lifetimes, Not Just for Christmas
When people think of Christmas, thoughts often drift to cosy fires, beautifully decorated homes, and the scent of evergreen trees filling the air.

The phrase “Oak is for lifetimes, not just for Christmas” rings true because oak structures, from homes to barns, stand the test of time.
Holiday decorations may come and go but oak’s beauty and strength remain, making it a worthy investment for anyone looking to build a home that will last for generations.
