Our Oak Porches
We’ve chosen a few of the oak porches we’ve designed, made and raised to give you an idea of designs allowed under permitted development. For example:
• Base width (outside of post to outside of post): 2m
• Depth (outside of post to house wall): 1.5m
• Overall height (from floor level): 3m
However, we can design and make your porch to any size or style to suit you.
Size: You can choose any width between 1.2m and 3.0m and any depth between 1.2m and 3.0m
Roof Pitch: You can choose a roof Pitch between 30o and 50o
Please Note: the height of your porch depends on the pitch and width
Oak Thickness: You can choose either 150mm (6”) or 200mm (8”) oak
Sarking Boards: These sit on your rafters, so you’ll see timber rather than your tiles or shingles when you look up. You can choose to have none, larch, cedar or oak.

Antonio has made a fantastic job of my porch. This is the second build I’ve had from him and the quality if great. Antonio is very responsive, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. A real craftsman who also uses great 3rd parties to complete the other aspects of the build![]()

We used Antonio to design, build and erect the oak frame for the extension to our kitchen. His attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism throughout the whole project was considerable which was hugely appreciated due to the complexity of the build and the fact that we were trying to work around the added complication of Covid. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Character Oak to anyone looking for a wood framed build. We are truly delighted with the end result both of terms of appearance and workmanship. Thank you!!![]()

Antonio designed, crafted and installed an oak porch for us. He assisted us with the sizing and shaping, it was very much a bespoke project and nothing was too much trouble. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is clearly evident in the finished product, he takes a great deal of pride in what he does and is very professional. We are delighted with the result.![]()

We are delighted by the work Antonio and his team have carried out on our oak garden room. No problem was any bother, they have helped to create us a wonderful feature to our refurbished property.
