Environmental & Sustainability

Policy

At Sessile Oak, we are committed to building quality green oak framed buildings whilst maintaining as small a carbon footprint as possible. Our construction timber is sourced from sustainably managed and certified woodlands, through reputable suppliers.

Oak tree

This responsible use of green oak ensures the continued management and survival of oak and mixed broadleaved woodlands, together with their associated habitats and wildlife. Where possible, we use high quality reclaimed materials for our carvings and sculptures.

Fossil fuel consumption is kept to a minimum. Whilst maintaining an economic and reliable timber supply, preference is given to local material and haulage suppliers where practical.

The Sessile Oak workshop and office further reflect our commitment to sustainability and minimizing our environmental impact.

Carvings & Sculpture Projects

Wooden Carving

We very occasionally take on carved works, which can be highly sought after. Each piece is a unique work of art, be it a small commemorative carving or a large structural sculpture.

As with our oak frames, our materials are sourced from sustainably managed and certified woodlands or, where possible, using highest quality reclaimed materials.
