Beam oak
Sykes Timber supplies high quality oak beams and structural oak, selected with a clear understanding of how the material performs in use. As an established UK supplier, we stock large section oak for oak frame buildings, extensions, architectural features and heavy structural applications.
Our beam oak is available both fresh sawn (green oak) and air dried, allowing the right material to be matched to the job. Green oak is widely used for traditional oak framing, while air dried material offers greater stability where reduced movement is required.
We offer in-house planing and machining, along with structural strength grading by trained staff, typically to D24, D30 and higher grades where required, ensuring material is prepared correctly and meets project specifications.
With extensive stock, nationwide delivery and generations of experience, Sykes Timber is a trusted supplier of oak beams, structural oak and oak framing timber across the UK and beyond.
