Parker Oak is a family-run business with over 30 years of experience, evolving from C L Parker and Sons to specialise in traditional oak framed structures. They pride themselves on using traditional mortise and tenon joints and hand-drawn oak pegs, maintaining a legacy of craftsmanship. The company works exclusively with green oak, chosen for its strength, workability, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring structures have an indefinite lifespan when properly built.
Parker Oak has a proven track record, having had their skills tested by projects for the Church of England and work on listed buildings, demonstrating their commitment to first-rate quality and conservation. They balance traditional methods with contemporary design, satisfying diverse client needs. Sourcing oak from sustainably managed forests, they aim to create energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings that meet modern standards while respecting heritage.
Their range of bespoke oak framed buildings includes garden rooms, orangeries, conservatories, garages, annexes, studios, and garden structures like pergolas and gazebos. They also offer custom joinery, including staircases, gates, doors, and windows, as well as solid oak furniture. Parker Oak has been recognised for its award-winning designs, including winning the York Design Awards in 2012 and 2014 for excellence in design and conservation.
