Yes, typically—but for good reason:

• Oak construction requires high-grade timber and craftsmanship
• Oak is a sustainable, natural material
• The visual appeal and property value boost often offset the additional cost

Planning permission may not be needed if the garage:

• Is under 4 metres in height
• Complies with permitted development rules

However, this varies by location and building use—always consult your local planning authority or a planning consultant.

The price depends on:

• Number of bays
• Features (doors, loft space, storage)
• Roofing and cladding choices

You can use our garage design tool to create and quote your bespoke oak-framed garage.

With proper maintenance, oak garages can last several decades, thanks to:

• High-quality joinery and traditional post-and-beam construction
