Lewis and Alex both trained as traditional carpenters, honing their skills in the art of oak framing and gaining invaluable experience in the restoration of historic buildings. Their journey in the industry ignited a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and stories that older structures hold.
With each project, they witnessed how restoration could give a building a second chance, and their commitment to breathing new life into these properties only grew stronger.
In 2018, Josh joined the team, beginning his journey alongside Alex and Lewis. With a fresh perspective and a shared enthusiasm for heritage construction, Josh quickly became an integral part of the team. Together, the trio combined their unique skills and experiences, fostering a collaborative environment that values both tradition and innovation.

Our Growth and Commitment
Since our inception, The Oak Blokes has experienced steady growth, driven by our dedication to quality craftsmanship and client satisfaction. Each restoration project we undertake is a testament to our belief that old buildings deserve a second chance.
We take pride in our meticulous approach, using traditional techniques and materials that honour the rich history of each property. At The Oak Blokes Ltd, our work with old buildings is at the forefront of everything we do. We understand that these structures are more than just buildings. They are living pieces of history, rich with character, stories, and cultural significance.
Alongside restoration and renovation, we now design and raise bespoke new oak-framed buildings and extensions, from pool houses and garages to garden rooms. The same traditional joinery and conservation-led care go into new work as into old.
