Oak By Design recently sponsored a team at The Coniston Hotel, Coniston Cold, Skipton in aid of the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.
The Coniston Hotel hosts the Coniston Challenge Day annually, and the events include: Clay Pigeon Shooting, Land Rover Driving, Archery and Target Golf amongst others.
For the second year, at the event, Jamie (and his Oak By Design team) was hoping to regain the Clay Pigeon Shooting title from last year when they won.
Jamie’s invited guests this year were: Christopher and William Newton from Newtons Solicitors and Richard Smailes from FSS estate agents.
Jamie said that it had been another fantastic day, filled with lovely people who were there to enjoy themselves and to raise as much money as possible for such a worthwhile charity.
Although the team didn’t win this year, they came a respectable third out of 27. He will be there next year to enjoy another day, and hopefully come back in first place!
Harriet Wood, Senior Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder said:
“On behalf of everyone here at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, and members of the Challenge Committee, we would like to extend a very big thank you for taking a team at this year’s Coniston Challenge Day! Despite a showery start, we were blessed with great weather throughout and I sincerely hope you enjoyed the day.”
“Furthermore, I am absolutely delighted to announce that the event raised a huge total of £52,025.”
“This crucial funding will help us to be there for more patients and families across our local communities when it matters most – enabling them to spend their remaining days surrounded by love.
We simply couldn’t do this without your help, so once again, thank you for helping to make this event the huge success it continues to be”.
Oak By Design were recently announced as back of shirt sponsors for Harrogate Town AFC.
Earlier this week (July 2023), Jamie Winspear and Richard Penny were kindly greeted by Harrogate’s first Charter Mayor, Councillor Michael Harrison, Irving Weaver (the club’s owner) and Simon Weaver, the club’s Manager, (see photos) at the club. They received framed, named, football shirts from the club, – which we’re sure will be going up on their office walls!
The Mayor was pleased to attend the photoshoot, saying it was great to see local businesses like Oak By Design and Harrogate Town AFC supporting each other. He was also impressed at how well Harrogate Town AFC are doing at the moment, not only on the pitch, but within the local community.
Oak By Design have been match sponsor’s over the years, and have helped to raise money at several of their charity events during this time.
They are really proud to have the opportunity to be a shirt sponsor for Harrogate Town AFC and will support them in anyway they can.
Like many Harrogate Town supporters, Oak By Design are looking forward in continuing in league 2 and especially the Wrexham Match, in November, where they will be match sponsors and will cheer Harrogate Town on to victory.
Oak By Design will be soon announcing a competition for up to 3 people to come along to a match, where they will be hosted by Jamie Winspear, listen to the Manager, Simon Weaver’s, pre match Q&A and then have access to the hospitality area and enjoy the match.
We are thrilled to now be able to announce this officially.
This is the recent Press Release from Harrogate Town AFC:-
Harrogate Town AFC is thrilled to announce Oak By Design as our new official back of shirt sponsor, as we launch our highly anticipated new home, third and goalkeeper kits this Summer. The partnership marks an exciting chapter for our club, combining our passion for football with Oak By Design’s commitment to craftsmanship and excellence.
We are proud to display the Oak By Design logo on the reverse of all six of our 2023/2024 shirts, worn by our First Team, Women’s Team and U18’s Academy.
Commercial Director Jo Towler added “We extend our sincere gratitude to Oak By Design for their generous support and belief in our club. We look forward to showcasing our new kit, proudly displaying the Oak By Design logo, and embarking on a successful journey together”
Oak By Design are extremely proud to have their name on the Harrogate Town AFC shirts.
Over several years Oak By Design have followed and admired the club. Its ethos towards the team and the supporters is one of the many reasons Oak By Design didn’t hesitate to say yes to the opportunity to support the club further.
Jamie Winspear of Oak By Design said “We are delighted to be a part of such an amazing club that works extremely hard to lead the way in so many sectors. They support several charities and young children who love to play the game. The club is all about encouraging the family day for everyone to enjoy and be part of. We very much look forward to supporting Harrogate Town AFC, not just for this season, but hopefully for many more seasons to come”.
Richard Penny of Oak By Design went on to say “I spent many years living in Harrogate and was always a supporter of my local team. Now, many years later, Oak By Design have the ability to offer their support and sponsorship to such a friendly and professional football team”
We would like to take this opportunity to wish Harrogate Town AFC the very best in the upcoming season and beyond.
Raisthorpe Flyers, near Malton in North Yorkshire recently held a Charity Clay Day.
Jamie Winspear, who is good friends with the family at Raisthorpe, was asked to be part of the team to help organise the event, held on 9th June, which was held to raise funds for MND Association.
The day consisted of laughter amongst good friends, with a view to raising lots of money for the charity whilst having a super day out.
31 teams of 8 people, plus guests, attended the event. In the morning there was coffee and sandwiches on arrival, and then the teams set off to shoot as many clays as they could. All the teams then returned in the afternoon to the marquee, where they enjoyed a live band and a free bar, courtesy of Raisthorpe Gin, Timothy Taylors and Pol Roger.
The event was an unbelievable success, due to all who attended. Everyone dug deep, bought tickets and participated in the Charity Auction, hosted by the one and only Richard Smailes, auctioneer extraordinaire!
2 sporting legends were also in attendance.
Jamie Jones- Buchanan, English Rugby League coach, and former Leeds Rhino’s legend, was the guest speaker. He was extremely entertaining when he stood up and said a few words. He presented Jamie Winspear with a signed, framed shirt from the magnificent fundraiser, Kevin Sinfield for the help Jamie has done this year for MND Association.
Jamie Winspear said “Being part of the team to help organise the day was a privilege. Seeing everyone enjoy themselves on the day and then donate generously made all the effort everyone put in very worthwhile”.
George Digweed MBE, multi times World and European gold winning English clay champion, handed out the awards and made the day extra special. It was a true honour to have him there.
Huge and special thanks go to good friends:-
– David, Julia, Edward and Ollie Meadforth hosted the event.
– Charles Dent, from Timothy Taylor’s who donated the real ales.
– Jonathan Smailes for donating the Pol Roger champagne.
– Richard Smailes for being the auctioneer for the event.
– Michael White, from Berry’s Jewellers in York, who donated a diamond bracelet for the auction.
– Emily Smailes from Marketing Adventures, for her work on the day.
– Richard Parris, Development Manager of the MND Association, who worked hard all day with his team making sure people donated.
Everyone enjoyed a fabulous day and were pleased that all their efforts had raised over £55,000 for the fabulous charity.
Rudding Park (https://www.ruddingpark.co.uk/) in Harrogate held its second 10K multi terrain trail race on Tuesday 9th May 2023, after the success of its inaugural race in 2022 when funds were raised for The Queen’s Green Canopy.
Over 400 participants ran a route created specifically for the event, amongst the 18th Century parkland of the privately owned, luxury resort and raised a massive £4834 for charity.
This year they chose to support former Leeds Rhino’s player Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/Robburrowappeal) . Rob Burrow, and his family and friends, have tirelessly campaigned to raise awareness and funds to support families living with MND. Their efforts are nothing short of magnificent.
Olympian and ‘Friend of Rudding Park’ Jonny Brownlee set the runners off at the start line.
Jamie, and a few of his friends, made up some of the 400+ mixed ability runners. Many of them had never run 10K before, however, they all managed to complete the course.
Their efforts were worthwhile as following the race, participants and spectators enjoyed drinks and a hog roast in the fan zone by the finishing line at Rudding House, with its views over the Vale of York. D.J. Mark Green played on the balcony, helping to create a party vibe.
Well done to all the entrants.
On 23rd March 2023, Bowcliffe Hall’s Jonathan Turner, his son, and their friends set off on a humanitarian trip to Ukraine. The trip consisted of an ex NHS ambulance (kitted out for those who may need it) and several other vehicles. They carried children’s clothes, food, dog food, school supplies, medical supplies etc.
The convoy travelled from Bowcliffe Hall, Yorkshire via Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia in conjunction with @yorkshire_aid.
All the aid was unloaded with the Deputy of the region and the ambulance was taken to the front line.
Jonathan and the team started their return journey to the UK on 28th March.
Oak By Design and the team are proud to support this inspirational journey. If you’d also like to support, or would like more information on the background and details please see their Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/the-drivers-club-bowcliffe-1678372373730
Dragons Den & the Key Stage 1 pupils (Years 1 & 2) at Westfield Primary Community School in Acomb, York have had the rather marvellous topic recently – “We Are Chocolatiers”.
As part of this topic, the children enjoyed designing and making their own chocolate products. Handling food safely, understanding the importance of hygiene, mixing and pouring were all part of the learning process, along with plenty of spoon-licking!
For the Year 2’s they were excited to pitch their chocolate product designs in a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style event, held at the school.
Jamie Winspear was asked by a mutual friend if he would be one of the team on the Dragons Den – He was thrilled to be part of this great initiative. Together with representatives from other local businesses (Vintage Cash Cow and Digifish Film and Animation) they attended the event.
The children wrote, and performed persuasive adverts and created prototypes of packaging. They were then asked questions about their ideas and products. One product was chocolate filled with ice cream, which sounds delightful!
As well as helping the children understand about producing a product, advertising and marketing etc, the Dradons Den also built confidence their in public speaking.
Jamie was impressed with all children’s confidence on stage, and commented on how friendly all the children and staff at the school were.
The University of York provided the prizes and part of the overall winner’s prize was a copy of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
What a fabulous way to learn confidence building and a great introduction to running a business.
By giving the children the opportunity to think like entrepreneurs, they can start to create and develop ideas that can be presented in a convincing way.
Through the Dragon’s Den event, the children have been given the opportunity to hone their entrepreneurial skills and the support of local businesses and the University of York has been invaluable.
David Carter, our Production Manager, and his son, Lewis, one of our joiners, have been helping raise funds for local charity – York Against Cancer. David’s wife, Janine, is the owner of Status Hair Design in Acomb, York.
Speaking directly to the charity Janine said “2022 was a challenging year. It brought both sadness and happiness for me personally. I had so many people close to me diagnosed with cancer. Your charity helped them immensely. I wanted to give something back by raising funds for you”.
The family decided to raise the funds by making and selling Seasonal Wooden Trees.
David had made an oak tree, from oak offcuts, for Janine to use in the salon a few years ago. Janine decorated the tree according to the seasons and holidays: – Valentine’s Day, Spring, Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc…
Clients were often asking Janine where they could buy one from.
In October 2022, Janine told her customers that the Seasonal Wooden Trees could be ordered, and the word spread! David and Lewis made mainly 2 different sizes, 3 foot and 4 foot, and they were inundated with orders.
Working in their spare time, David and Lewis made the trees in the workshop at Oak By Design, using their oak.
David and Lewis set a date for last orders prior to Christmas, but as the orders kept coming, they couldn’t say ‘No!”. By the time Christmas 2022 arrived they didn’t want to see another Seasonal Wooden Tree ever again!!
They were, deservedly, extremely proud, as their marvellous efforts raised a fabulous £1,065 for York Against Cancer.
Janine, and her staff, continue to raise funds throughout the year for the charity by arranging coffee mornings at the salon.
Kevin Sinfield England and Great Britain Rugby League player has been running 7 Ultra Marathon’s in 7 Days.
He completed this epic 275 mile journey on Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford, at half time at the Rugby League World Cup Final.
During the week Kevin wasn’t just running Ultra Marathon’s but was out raising more funds in the evening!
On Thursday 17th November, after Ultra Marathon number 5, Oak By Design’s Jamie Winspear, together with Mark and Alice Pepper of Sporting Connexions, David Adams, Martin Wolstencroft and Richard Smailles arranged a fundraising evening to swell the coffers of the MND Charities that Kevin has been running for in honour of his mate and former Leeds Rhino’s team -mate, Rob Burrow.
Emily Smailles, of Marketing Adventures, arranged the video’s and all the marketing of the event.
The evening was held at Manahatta York. Martin Wolstencroft, the bar’s founder, offered the venue for the evening. This enabled Kevin’s fabulous back up team of 20 or so to be provided with a marvellous meal after their epic day. Martin also cycled quite a lot of the route with Kevin and the team.
The evening continued with 120 paying guests, friends and associates of the organisers from York and Harrogate, listening to Kevin Sinfield talk about his efforts to date. He was blown away by the response he received when entering York earlier in the day and spoke about the brilliant team he had behind him supporting throughout the challenge.
Richard Smailles, from FSS Property in Harrogate, was the Auctioneer for the evening, auctioning 30 of Kevin Sinfield’s running shirts, which he had signed, for £375 each!
He then auctioned a couple of super prints of Kevin and Rob and these were bought by Clint Goodchild, the Chairman of York RLFC and Jamie Winspear.
Richard, himself, bought a signed shirt of Steve Cram’s. Steve had supported Kevin on his Day 2 ultra marathon earlier in the week.
Michael Ibbotson, of the award winning Durham Ox at Crayke, generously donated lunch for 20 people and Kevin Sinfield agreed to join the donors to talk about the fundraising. This raised an absolutely fantastic £15k! This was a joint bid including Oak By Design‘s Jamie, David Adams from Business Waste UK, and Tom Frank from Ice Cubed Property Finance.
Kevin spoke about his relationship with Rob and how proud he was that Rob had brought MND into the public domain. Because of both their efforts, and other’s such as Doddie Weir’s, this illness is now fully out there and the public are very much aware of.
Rob Burrow and MND almost go hand in hand now, after Rob has pushed on through talking about his 3 year illness.
David Dickson, the non-exec Chairman of St. Leonard’s Hospice in York, and supporter of Kevin’s fundraising, speaking on the video (hear this above) called for both Rob and Kevin to be the BBC’s Sports Personality’s of the Year.
At the time of writing this the total raised for the 7 Ultra Marathons in 7 Days had raised a fabulous £2,000,000+.
£77,000 of this was raised at the York evening and thanks go to many very generous donors (2 donating a substantial amount each and wish to remain anonymous) who enabled this amount to be raised.
The people of York and Harrogate and the surrounding areas who have supported Kevin along the route, and who turned out in the foul weather on Thursday, have certainly helped Kevin raise this magnificent amount.
If you would like to donate please see Kevin Sinfield’s page here:
Jamie said afterwards “we are overwhelmed by the number of people who have contributed both time and money to make this evening the success that it was. The people of York and Harrogate have once again come out, in their support of Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrows on their journey to raise funds to find a cure for MND.”
Oak By Design was proud to enter a team at the Annual Charity Golf Day fundraiser for Harrogate based charity, Henshaws https://www.henshaws.org.uk a few weeks ago.
Jamie, and 3 friends, formed one of the 22 teams (the largest number ever) from the North of England who entered, at Rudding Park in Harrogate.
The day started with bacon sandwiches and coffee at the clubhouse and finished with a BBQ.
Henshaw’s charity supports people living with sight loss, and other disabilities, to go beyond their expectations. They run a bespoke campus college in Harrogate, which offers day and residential places for young people between 16 years and 25 years with Special Educational Needs and disabilities.
They also have an Arts and Crafts Centre in Knaresborough with a shop, café and gardens.
The day was a great success. The weather was beautiful, and the charity raised over £15,000!
Oak By Design team member, Leigh Skinner (pictured), also won one of the 4 prizes up for grabs! He won ‘The Longest Drive’ – so a great success all round.

Oak By Design were proud to be the match sponsors at Harrogate Town Football Club on the 15th of this month for the Harrogate Town FC v Hartlepool United FC match at the Harrogate EnviroVent Stadium.
Harrogate FC were in need of a good win to get them back up the table and they delivered with a thrilling 2-1 win, with goals by Alex Pattison and Jack Muldoon.
Jamie Winspear of Oak By Design invited 9 guests to enjoy the hospitality at Harrogate Town FC.
Jamie said…
‘”Thank you to HTFC for making my guests and I feel welcome. The hospitality provided was excellent. Simon Weaver the manager, made the time to speak to my guests. Selecting the ‘Man of the Match’ was a tough decision as all the team played well, however Joshua Falkingham for me, was the outstanding player and deserved the bottle of champagne.
It was lovely to be able to introduce my friend’s son, Edward Newall, to Gary Pallister, the former English professional footballer who was there to watch the match.'”
Oak By Design wish all players the best for the rest of the season and we look forward to supporting them further next year. (Watch this space!)
Oak By Design kick started the New Year by hosting a fantastic evening Casino Event at their Tockwith showroom.
The aim was to raise money for St Leonards Hospice, their Charity for 2022.
It was the ideal event to start 2022, celebrating with friends and colleagues, whilst raising funds for this worthwhile charity. Oak By Design were pleased to share the evening with VA Heritage, an amazing Interior Design company based in Leeds, and Marketing Adventures, a digital marketing company based in Harrogate – all companies contributing to the evening.
The evening was aimed to bring like-minded friends together., drink a few glasses of champagne and promote each other’s skill set.
Oak By Design feels strongly about working together with other local businesses, promoting them and most of all building friendships along the way. In doing so, whilst raising money for amazing charities such as St Leonards Hospice, is an ideal solution!
The evening raised £400 for St Leonards Hospice and Oak By Design are looking forward to raising more monies for the charity this year through various different events.
Jamie Winspear would like to thank all the guests for coming and making the evening a great success.

Left us a star review
Firstly, the product quality was superb, a beautiful oak mantle piece for my fire place, gorgeous. The installation was quick, efficient and fitter very friendly. The price was very reasonable, actually very good value. But what makes it all SIX STAR, ( but we I can only give 5!), was the customer service. When walking in the shop I was perfectly attended to, I was given samples to take home and they remembered to call soma days later to see what I thought. Order to install time was very fast for such a bespoke service. My experience was world class, great to deal with a brilliant local/small business, I totally recommend.
Oak by Design were extremely helpful at all stages of my project from helping and advising me to choose the most appropriate beam through to advice on fixing the beam. They were extremely patient with changes to my beam dimension requirements finally providing a solution to suit my project. They provided photographs on completion of the beam prior to dispatch to ensure that my requirements had been met. I was extremely impressed by the quality and finish of the beam which has become the focal point for my fireplace project. Oak by Design provided customer care of the highest quality and I would highly recommend their services.
Really delighted with the new porch by Oak by Design. It adds a super feature to my converted barn. Thanks to Joanne and the team.
A fabulous service and supportive through the design and delivery process. Highly recommended
This is the second time that we have used Oak By Design for oak products and once again we weren’t disappointed. We recently ordered some internal oak doors and from the very start they were a pleasure to deal with. Joanne especially was extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We were kept updated about the progress of our order. Unfortunately we needed to delay acceptance of the doors for a few weeks and Oak By Design happily agreed to store them in their workshop until we were ready for them. The quality of the doors is very high, they are very well made and finished, far better than any oak doors that you will buy “ off the shelf. “ They are all installed now and look fantastic. I would highly recommend Oak By Design and we will certainly use them again in the future if we require any more oak products. A huge thank you to Joanne and the whole team for a great service and a great product.
Fantastic service from start to finish, I would have no hesitation in recommending this company or using them again. Very professional and helpful. Joanne was great in assisting us with choosing both styles and colours of the beams and cladding.
What can I say, Oak By Design have been the most fantastic company to deal with. Joanne was so helpful, friendly and professional. She really seemed to care about our project, which made such a difference. We had 4 oak RSJ covers made and 2 fireplace mantles. The finish is outstanding. Everyone believes they are solid beams, which was just what we wanted. The care and attention this company will give you is 2nd to none and I would highly recommend them. Pictures will follow when we complete our project, thanks again Oak By Design. x
Ordered an oak mantle beam from Oak by Design and they quickly called to check the finer details. Unfortunatly, the beam was slightly damaged on arrival by the courier company. Oak by Design immediately arranged to have it picked by DHL, transferred back to Yorkshire from Kent, repaired and sent back within 2 days, with no quibbles. The beam is beautiful, as is the high quality customer service by these people. Fully recommend using this company. Anthony Slater, Tonbridge. Tonbridge.
On behalf of John Docherty: Oak By Design were a great company to deal with; helpful, knowledgeable, professional. The quality of the oak supplied to us for our bespoke porch was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for this company, and we will definitely be using this wonderful company again in 2022.
From the moment we visited the Oak Design showroom, we knew that we were dealing with a top quality local company. Richard the owner, showed us around his design works with real pride of his product and service offering. Jamie as sales executive has discussed and agreed the options & design with costs to us and we have now implemented the first phase of our home improvement, with more work to follow. We are highly delighted with the finished product and would strongly recommend Oak Design to other interested clients. I also suggest that you pay them a personal visit at the Home Building & Renovation exhibition in Harrogate, as well as their wonderful showroom of Oak Solutions in Tockwith to get a personal guided tour.
Found Oak by Design searching for a new front porch to replace a canopy and knew immediately that this was company for the job and I was not disappointed. I already knew what I wanted and Richard, very patiently, developed my basic requirements, with a number of iterations, into a full detailed design. As I live outside their site working area I decided go for supply only and to install the porch myself. It was delivered as promised and it looked great even on the pallet! It took me a while to fit but it was very satisfying and the result is fantastic. The quality of the aged oak and carpentry of the timbers is excellent. I’m delighted with the porch supplied by Oak by Design - it looks superb.
Exceptional service and beautiful flooring. Absolutely delighted with every aspect. Went above and beyond great customer service to meet our needs and timescales.
Oak by design provided our engineered oak flooring. From our initial meeting and supply of samples to the final delivery we have been provided with excellent service. Carl has been in touch throughout the process and provided updates about the lead time and expected delivery dates. We are delighted with the flooring. Very happy to recommend Oak by design.
On behalf of Shears PHG Our customer was looking at having an oak porch built for their property in the West Midlands we got in contact with Joanne at Oak by Design and she was really helpful, always friendly on the phone and polite nothing was too much trouble. Joanne kept us up to date through every stage and our customer is really pleased with the results of the Porch it looks great and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future
Oak by design were a fantastic company to deal with. They made us some treads for a bespoke stair case from large pieces of air dried oak. They were very thorough in making sure that they understood exactly what we wanted. They made excellent suggestions for small changes to our own design in order to produce a better finished product and to manage the cost. We were very happy with the treads when they were delivered. They look fantastic and fitted perfectly to the steel frame which was made by a third party. I could not recommend them more highly.
I wish I could give more starts!! We looked at many companies before finally choosing Oak by Design. We are so glad we chose them. They were excellent from start to finish. They worked with us to find a workable design that was to our liking. Our door looks amazing (despite the building site that still surrounds it!). Their customer service is of the highest standard, Joanne could not do enough to help us. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great service by a friendly professional team, a pleasure to work with. The end result of our oak glazed leisure spa and outdoor kitchen looks fantastic. Great job
My client was looking for ways in which to make his conversion (of an early seventies house into a period family farmhouse) “stand out from the crowd”. whilst maintaining a commercial eye on his expenditure, as the house was being converted for resale profit. Making the choice to meet with Richard and explore possibilities for incorporating some Real solid Oak features into his plans proved to be the making of the project. By taking lots of advice from Richard on both the size and structure of the components we were able to incorporate three key features. The beautiful and bold roof trusses and purlins for the open plan kitchen are simply a joy to behold. The stunning full height gable window which is directly glazed into the large framework can be appreciated from both the the kerbside and of course from within the cosy snug on the ground floor or the amazing first floor main bedroom where we incorporated some additional exposed roof beams just purely for effect. All in all it is fair to say that these significant choices certainly created the wow factor my client was looking for. Having managed to pre sell the property well before completion it in itself demonstrates the benefits of keeping these sorts of real oak features as part of a modern build. I have no hesitation whatsoever is saying that if anyone is looking to get advice and is serious about investing in quality oak products they should have no need to look further than Oak by Design. Thanks again Richard for all your help , guidance and continued support which is a credit to you and the craftsmen you employ.
Working with Oak By Design on our project was a pleasure and we were delighted with the results. Joanne was extremely helpful, quick to answer any questions and generally a great person to deal with! The quality and finish of the products - RSJ covers and Oak Windows & Doors were superb and look great. Would highly recommend working with Oak By Design and would not hesitate to use their services again for future projects!
Very impressed with Oak By Design. Customer service is fantastic and they were very patient in helping me ensure what I needed was the right size. Photos sent of oak cover before it was sent to me and end product was great. It was also not the most expensive either. Would definitely recommend.
We purchased some engineered oak flooring and oak covers from Oak By Design and couldn't be happier with the finish and quality. They are spot on. Joanne was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and provided plenty of advice when necessary. Thank you
We were looking to have a bespoke oak and glass atrium for the front of our new house renovation. We wanted to find a company we trusted, who clearly understood our brief and could manufacture and install a high quality product at a competitive price. A big ask, but OakByDesign ticked all our boxes. Jamie and the team from the initial discovery meeting to completion of the installation were fantastic. The design, material quality and installation were first class and I would highly recommend you to include them within your project plans. Thank you all. Ben and Lindsay.
We are delighted with our porch, from Oak by Design. Not only is the porch of excellent quality and finish but their customer service could not have been better. They bent over backwards to make sure that we were happy with the porch and I would happily recommend them to anyone.
Excellent quality workmanship and materials. Very easy and friendly to deal with on the phone. Everything done on time and no problems at all. Will definitely use again next time I need an oak porch or any other oak structures.
Four years ago we took the decision to completely gut an old farmhouse and start again with it, we started looking for a supplier of oak to refit all of the internal doors, door casings, skirting and flooring. Our carpenter recommended Oak By Design. He wasn't wrong! All of the oak has been completely top notch. As the old house has settled into it's new skin it has moved and cracked in various places, the only thing that has been stable and unwavering is the oak. The customer service has been superb, with them continuing to supply exactly the same items, with the same quality over the course of 4 years. They even indulged our designs for furniture for our "boot room", with Shoe pigeon holes and a bench which we could store wellies under (as pictured). The doors supplied by them are reassuringly heavy and sturdy, with a proper "thunk" as you close them, cutting off sound from the rest of the house. There may be other, cheaper suppliers of oak out there, but none with the same level of quality, longevity and customer service as Oak By Design. If you want to do it right (& once!) use these guys.
Posting on behalf of my Mother in Law, Shirley Abbott "Having planned to shop around, Oak By Design was my first stop. I had no need to look any further. Joanne patiently and professionally guiding me through the confusion of choosing the right flooring. The service and support from the staff was exceptional, efficient and helpful. And - my floor looks amazing!"
We worked with Jamie from Oak By Design on a super project near Wetherby. There was plenty of oak in this design for the team to really show their worth - and they did. The attention to detail was excellent. If anything was not quite how the client wanted it, they were straight back to attend to this. The customer care was superb. We look forward to working with Oak By Design on another project soon.
I could not recommend Oak By Design more highly. Joanne and the team worked tirelessly to resolve an issue that was the result of my mistake when I ordered the porch. Great customer service.
We decided to get an oak porch to make our home more attractive and we are so glad we did as it really is beautiful ! Joanne and the Team have been professional, friendly and just a pleasure to deal with ! Thank you so much !!
A great company to deal with. Professional from start to finish and always there to assist with any queries. Highly recommended.
Oak by Design have made 2 oak framed rooms for us, sunroom at the front and and "moonroom" (photo) at the back which encompasses a shower room, work area and storage. They have been helpful at every stage and the outcome is simply brilliant. They make the whole house feel roomier and brighter and are beautiful places to be. GE North Yorkshire
We can thoroughly recommend Oak by Design. Not only did they provide the best of oak floors and oak staircase to suit our new, contemporary home, but they returned to make good a problem which was not their fault. Going the extra mile separates great companies from ordinary firms. Thank you Jamie & Billy. From Mike & Barbara, York.
We got a fantastic garden structure from Oak by Design. It is a very handsome building and the design process was very patient, to say the least. We didn’t really know what we wanted, so we had to be guided through it. And we are delighted.
From the start of our enquiry, the service provided was excellent. Joanne was a great help and the oak porch structure looks fantastic on our new build. It completely changed the look of the house. Very quick delivery could not recommend enough.
We were delighted with our new porch. Right from our initial contact with Joanne at ObD, through the design and the installation by Jack and his team the service has been excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending ObD and Jack to anyone thinking of a high quality oak porch. Thank you to all involved.
I firstly used oak by design a couple of years ago for an open oak porch. They were extremely helpful and everything was delivered on time to the highest quality. The porch went together with the oak dowels provided and looked great when it was all slated in. They have also supplied me with a oak beam for a fireplace natural random finish and it looks good.
From the beginning the customer service has been superb, excellent help and advice when choosing the flooring, delivery arriving when promised and a product which is extremely high quality. We have replaced the majority of our flooring downstairs and we are so pleased with the result that we would have paid more. Fantastic.
Having lived with our porch for over 2 years I can honestly say it’s the best addition to our house we ever made. Not only does it look fantastic the quality is outstanding. I love that it keeps the mud out of the hall and provides a seating area to remove muddy boots.
Fantastic staff with fantastic craftsmanship. Great communication and always on the ball. I would highly recommend oak by design, I don’t think you could get a better quality oak porch anywhere. Extremely pleased with ours , always getting compliments from fellow villagers
From the initial quotation right through to the delivery and after service Joanne has been brilliant and given me an excellent product. I have just ordered another porch for another project from them and I will continue to do so for future projects . Thomas and Bell Building Contractors Ltd
Great service from start to finish, Joanne was great help. Designs were spot on and so happy with the porch. 10/10. Fully recommend.
I first used Oak by Design in 2021 for a oak porch, I used them again 2023 for an oak pergola. Both times my clients have been Delighted with the finished product. Both times the product was delivered when stated, everything i needed was on the delivery. Oak by design listened to what I required for both jobs. The quality of the oak is excellent, all joints fit correctly & if I had a problem I only had to ring and speak to them. R Brown Carpentry always recommends Oak by Design when asked about oak structures.
Great company, always on the end of the phone to talk through design, measurements, fitting. The Oak is very high standard, looks amazing.
Amazing craftsmanship from this company. The customer service from Joanne was superb. My questions and indecisiveness were never an issue and she was always on hand to offer advice and find the answers to my questions. Our oak porch has transformed the house and we are over thd moon with it. Would highly recommend Oak By Design. Joanne is an asset to the sales and promotion of this company and is very knowledgeable. Would give 10 stars if I could!
