Quality assurance
A 5-step quality promise.
Every oak porch kit goes through a fully documented, auditable quality control process — from log to delivery.
- 1
Timber delivery check
All timbers are checked against a cutting list to confirm size and quantity, with an initial visual quality inspection.
- 2
Structural grading
Each beam is individually checked for structural suitability and visual impact by our in-house timber graders.
- 3
Production check
As each timber moves through production it is visually checked again to confirm suitability.
- 4
Machine calibration
Every job begins with a comprehensive calibration test on our Hundegger CNC, monitored every 30 minutes during production.
- 5
Pre-dispatch
Once manufactured and packed, the kit is cross-checked against your cutting list to ensure every component is present.
Why our kits are a cut above
Our timbers
We use Quercus Robur and Petraea oak — sustainably farmed, longer and straighter, and consistently the best quality for manufacturing.
Timber graders
Every piece is checked by a certified grader who re-trains yearly. Any timber showing weakness is rejected.
Precision engineering
Manufactured on a state-of-the-art Hundegger CNC, calibrated before every job and re-checked throughout.
Pre-dispatch checks
Each piece is visually inspected and cross-referenced with your file and cutting list before packing.
The finished kit
All kits arrive with clear instructions, pre-drilled fixings, pre-cut birdmouth rafters and coded components for easy assembly.
Aftercare
Natural tannin marks on green oak fade with time. If you'd like to remove them sooner we recommend Rubio Monocoat Tannin Remover.
