What services does Lakeland Timber Frame offer?
We provide timber frame design, manufacturing, and supply for homes, extensions, stables, outbuildings, and commercial projects. Options include supply-only or supply and erect using our experienced erection teams.
Can you help with self-build projects?
Yes! We offer a co-operative self-build service, working with you and your architect to create a bespoke timber frame. We also provide technical advice, CAD modelling, and structural engineering checks.
What types of buildings do you work on?
We supply frames for detached and semi-detached homes, apartments, extensions, offices, stables, workshops, lodges, and more – for both residential and commercial clients.
What’s included in a standard timber frame kit?
Our standard kits typically include:
- 
External and internal wall panels 
- 
Easi-joist floor systems 
- 
Roof timbers/trusses 
- 
Structural steel or glulam elements 
- 
Cavity closers and wall ties

Optional insulation packages 
Do you offer insulation options?
Yes, we offer a range of factory-fitted and on-site insulation packages for external walls, partitions, intermediate floors, and roofs – tailored to meet specific U-value requirements.
How long does it take to erect a timber frame?
Most structures can be erected and made weather-tight in 3–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. Pre-manufacturing ensures fast, efficient on-site assembly.
Can the exterior of a timber frame home look traditional?
Yes. Our frames can be clad in brick, stone, render, timber, or other materials, making them visually identical to traditional builds – with added energy efficiency and speed.
What finishes are available for stables or outbuildings?
We offer a variety of external cladding options including half-round log boarding, feather-edge treated whitewood, cedar, and larch, all built to last and suit your style.
Are your designs certified for structural integrity?
Yes. All designs are checked and verified by a certified structural engineer to ensure they meet Building Regulation standards for safety and durability.
Can I use my own team to erect the timber frame?
Absolutely. We can supply frames as trade packs, including all necessary components and structural drawings, for assembly by your own builders or contractors.
