Bill Notley started Townsend Fencing soon after moving into the small holding, then quickly needed the help of 1 employee. He says, "Our first job was in nearby Okeford Fitzpaine, where we had to carry all tools and materials on our backs to the site 150 yards up a rather steep hill!" Angela, his wife, took the reins on the office work in the farmhouse kitchen.
Simon, Bill's son, left grammar school and joined Bill as a labourer. Simon quickly taught himself solid carpentry skills, as he developed into the the new role designing and making fencing, gates and sheds. Together Simon and Bill started to expand the business and even had an 'office' in the yard [actually an 8'x6' shed] complete with telephone!

Garden Rooms in oak or oak-framed extensions rooms make beautiful additions to your home, creating the space that you need. Instead of moving house, an extension or garden room allows you to make the most of your budget while remaining in the home you love. Insulated oak-framed garden rooms give you a liveable space throughout the year.
An oak framed structure makes a stunning impression; whether a full frame or feature roofs. From traditional to contemporary, the beauty of oak lends itself to almost all schemes in some way or another. Townsend Timber can design a new oak frame for your project as the primary structural frame or as a hybrid part of an existing scheme, whether it be an element in a new build or extension, or for renovation work.
