Heart of Oak Carpentry

A premier woodwork company in Hay-on-Wye, Herefordshire

With over 20 years’ experience, with both timber framing and historical repairs, Oliver Price has an enduring passion for working with wood and takes care and pride in his work, to ensure the fabric of the building is preserved for future generations – but also, providing modern and contemporary designs when required, using only the best materials from local outlets to guarantee a quick and efficient service.

As well as specialising in oak and other British and European hardwoods, customers can also choose from a wide selection of soft woods to suit all budgets. We also provide a wide selection of detailing to suit the specific requirements of our customers, whether it be for a historical replacement or a new build, including chamfers, beading, carvings, mouldings and much more.

Every detail of the clients’ requirements is developed from design to manufacture, using only traditional methods and techniques. There are also many different finishes on offer, including machine finished, hand planed, machine adzed and hand adzed, as well as using natural oils/waxes, liming and lime washing or just left naturally to age.

All frames/structures are pegged together with handmade oak pegs, along with traditional cut nails that are also used in the construction. Modern techniques can also be employed when needed. Contact us today for woodwork repairs, window and door installation and timber framing.
