Timber Frame
Precision-Engineered Timber Frames: Setting the Standard for Modern Construction
At Calldene, we combine nearly 70 years of timber engineering heritage with cutting-edge design technology to deliver high-performance timber frame solutions.
Serving developers, housebuilders, and contractors across Southern England and the Home Counties, we provide a “whole house” structural approach that prioritises speed, sustainability, and precision.
Why Choose Calldene Timber Frames?
Timber frame construction is the fastest-growing building method in the UK, and for good reason. When you partner with Calldene, you benefit from a system designed to streamline your project from the ground up.
- Accelerated Build Programs: Our off-site prefabrication allows you to reach the “watertight” stage up to 30% faster than traditional masonry. This enables internal trades to start sooner, significantly reducing your overall project timeline.
- Precision Engineering: Every panel is manufactured in our controlled factory environments (near Canterbury and Lancing) to exact specifications. This eliminates the “on-site margin of error,” ensuring perfectly square walls and seamless integration with our roof trusses and floor joists.
- Superior Thermal Performance: Timber is a natural insulator. Our frames are designed to accommodate high-performance insulation and membranes, helping you achieve exceptional U-values and reducing long-term energy costs for the end-user.
- Sustainable & Carbon Neutral: We use PEFC-certified timber, ensuring your build has the lowest embodied carbon of any mainstream building material. For every cubic meter of wood used instead of other materials, approximately 0.8 tonnes of CO2 is saved.
Our Comprehensive Timber Frame Service.
We don’t just supply timber; we provide a complete structural solution.
- Holistic Design Support: Our experienced design team uses the latest 3D modelling software to review your architectural drawings. We provide full structural calculations, ensuring your project is optimised for performance and cost before a single piece of timber is cut.
- Quality-Controlled Manufacturing: By moving the bulk of the construction into our factory, we remove the risk of weather-related delays. Our production lines ensure every component—from open-web Posi-Joists to spandrel panels are built to the highest quality standards.
- Site Installation & Support: We offer a flexible approach to assembly. You can choose to use our erection teams to build the structure on-site, or we can provide detailed technical drawings and guidance to support your own team.
- Full Ancillary Integration: A Calldene timber frame is a complete system. We provide all necessary ancillary products, including:
- Timber bracing and glulam beams
- Gable ladders and wall plate straps
- Preservative treatments for long-term durability

From single-storey bungalows to multi-unit residential developments and commercial offices, our timber frames are adaptable to any architectural vision.
- Private Developers looking for reliable margins and fast turnaround.
- Social Housing Providers seeking energy-efficient, sustainable solutions.
