Design
We will develop a detailed solution for your approval and show you how your dreams can become reality
Extensions
Extensions serve as an excellent solution for creating additional space and can often be a viable alternative to relocating. Furthermore, constructing an extension can significantly enhance the value of your home, with the added value typically surpassing the construction costs. We specialize in managing extension projects from the initial design and planning stages all the way to completion, alleviating the stress associated with the entire process.
Build
Our experienced team of builders understand just how important it is for you to have confidence in us and our work process. We know this is not just about bricks and mortar, it is about creating a home. YOU tell us what your project must deliver, what you would like in addition and what you think you can't afford. We can give you an instant scale of cost and offer advice on the impact on your property value. As designers, we will typically be able to see design options and instantly assess potential ways to fit all your requirements against guideline budgets.

We chose OakenStone for our new home build project in the Derbyshire Dales as we wanted to ensure every step of our house build journey was handled by one company. If you’re looking for a skilled, trustworthy, company to support you through planning, architectural design, build and construction, service connections, grounds maintenance and finishing interior designs look no further. We’ve been in our house for nearly a year and couldn’t be happier.
The team offer a wealth of experience and knowledge, their attention to detail is second to none and they offer design and construction solutions to maximise the use of space and ensure the finished product is of the highest quality. You can swiftly learn to trust their judgement as they aren’t just seeking to finish quickly and move on to the next, they want to ensure everything meets the brief and draws satisfaction. (We’d not considered underfloor heating but it is bliss!)
But the OakenStone team aren’t just knowledgeable, they are nice too. They are honest and detailed when it comes to budgets and finances, and they offer updates throughout the process.

We were extremely fortunate to find such a reliable and skilled builder/planner having been let down by a company who decided at the last minute they didn't want the job which had awkward access. The team were all courteous and prompt, the work was done to an excellent standard and all within the expected budget. What stands apart with Oakenstone is the level of clear communication about the details as well as the overall plan and the creative solutions to some problems (notably the amount of light into our house). Even though we lived in the house while the work was done (which included removing the kitchen roof, knocking down various walls etc) the level of disruption was surprisingly little as Dave had planned the work around us. James redesigned the layout which has meant that our first floor home now feels much lighter and a better use of space. It is such a pleasure to have had this work done, we wish we'd done it sooner! We would recommend this company unreservedly.

Our second home in Bakewell required complete renovation. As our primary home was a two hour drive away we needed a company we could trust to manage a complex project over many months, keeping communication lines constantly open and dealing efficiently with any day to day problems.
OakenStone were already renovating a neighbouring cottage, and an initial site meeting persuaded us they had the resources and ideas to make a success of our project.
We also needed a company with innovative ideas to maximize space utilization and maintain as many of the original features of the cottage as possible.
The project benefitted from a combined and integrated approach to design, planning and build, and from having the same team of tradesmen working on it from beginning to end.
We were kept updated through site meetings, email exchanges, phone calls and via the company’s online portal.
The finished product exceeded our already high expectations and was delivered within initial estimated costs. We would, without hesitation, recommend OakenStone to others.

So you're thinking of building a house? Then you'll need a team you can trust and have honest conversations with. That's exactly what you get with the Oakenstone team. They're an experienced, talented team of designers, builders and problem solvers. Great communication and project management combined with high quality thinking and finishing. We built our barn conversion in just over 9 months. From start to finish we had no major issues or problems. That's how to successfully build a house. And that's why we worked with them.
