Unlike prefabricated systems, our on-site approach offers greater flexibility, reduced costs, and quicker turnaround. Stick build allows for easy adaptation to late design changes, and provides better handling of tolerance and fit issues on site.
At Woodbridge Carpentry, we offer a complete stick build service with the option to tailor packages to suit your project:
-
On-site construction of timber frame structures
-
Full fire boundary mitigation measures
-
Optional add-ons – insulation, stairs, cladding, and more

All our timber frames are built by experienced, trained carpenters to the highest standards. We work closely with structural engineers and follow a strict quality control process throughout every build. Depending on the project, we can use either engineered truss rafters or traditional hand-cut roof systems.
Timber frame homes continue to grow in popularity in the UK for good reason – they’re faster to build, environmentally friendly, and offer excellent thermal efficiency compared to traditional methods.
FAQs
Stick build refers to a construction method where the timber frame is built entirely on-site from loose timbers and sheathing boards, rather than being pre-fabricated in a factory. Our skilled carpenters assemble the structure directly on site following precise plans and structural engineer specifications.
We’ve delivered stick-built timber frame structures for a wide variety of projects — from house extensions and new builds to large apartment blocks up to seven storeys high.
Stick build is a great option for projects that require:
Short lead-in times: Avoid long factory production queues. We can begin on-site in as little as 2–4 weeks.
Limited access for cranes: Materials can be manhandled, making this ideal for tight or awkward sites.
Adaptability on site: Perfect for fitting frames to existing structures or working around unexpected challenges.
Phased builds or stop-start projects: No need to store pre-made panels for long periods, making it ideal for developments led by sales progress.
