Our latest project underway 

Century Oak - Bespoke Construction

This was the first time using Matt and his team.  All great lads and we loved having them around.   All work carried out to a high standard and on time.  Thank you Century Oak.

Timber kit supply

Brilliant. Great building work, efficient. Extension excellent, kitchen fitted really well. Flooring laid, plumbing, decorating etc. All great.  Friendly team became part of the family for a couple of months.

Great extension build and kitchen fit

We have used Matt a couple of times now.  Great team and very friendly and hard working.  We will use them for further works.

Timber cart lodge 

Great team and very well organised.  Made my life so much easier choosing a company that take on the whole project.

House Remodel

Century Oak took on structural repairs to our out house barn,  A great team who I would highly recommend.  Very skilled guys and very well organised

Internal barn remodel 

The century oak team were nothing short of amazing with our double oak framed cart lodge.   We went to century oak with nothing but an idea and Matt and their architect worked together to turn it into reality.  Matt was in constant contact and we felt that nothing was too much of an ask, the process couldn’t have gone smoother.  We’ve already put things in motion for another build on our house. 

Thank you century oak! 

Already in talks about a second project!
