Our work, not stock photos
Every image is from an actual Oakwood project across Leeds and surrounding areas.
Quality craftsmanship, transparent pricing and a dedicated project manager from first call to final handover. Serving Leeds and West Yorkshire since 2008.
What We Build
Every project handled in-house by our own team — no subcontractors, no surprises.
Single and double-storey rear extensions, side returns and wraparound extensions. We handle planning applications and building regs sign-off.
Dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions. Add a bedroom, office or bathroom to unlock your home's true potential.
Structural alterations, open-plan reconfigurations, full gut refurbishments. One team from start to finish.
Complete kitchen and bathroom installations, including all plumbing, tiling and electrical work. Project-managed end to end.
Transform an unused garage into a habitable room — gym, office, playroom or guest bedroom. Fully insulated and signed off.
We work closely with local architects and can project-manage the full process, from drawing to council approval to build completion.

About Oakwood
Founded by James Hartley in 2008, Oakwood Builders has grown from a two-man team to a crew of twelve directly employed tradespeople. We've never used a subcontractor — everyone you'll meet on site is part of the Oakwood family.
We're registered with the Federation of Master Builders and TrustMark — which means we're independently vetted for quality, insurance and trading standards compliance every year.
One point of contact from first quote to final handover. No chasing, no confusion.
We quote thoroughly so there are no nasty extras mid-project. Your price is your price.
We handle building regs applications and liaise with your local council — you just sit back.
How it Works
Simple, transparent and stress-free. Here's what you can expect when you work with Oakwood.
We come to you, assess the project and listen to what you want to achieve. No obligation, no hard sell.
You receive a written, itemised quote within 5 working days. No vague estimates — real numbers.
We handle drawings, building regs and any council submissions alongside our trusted local architects.
Our team builds to the highest standard, on schedule. Final snag check before we hand you the keys.
What Clients Say
"We had a full rear extension done — 6 weeks, exactly on budget. James kept us updated every day. The quality of work is genuinely outstanding. Our neighbours have asked for their number!"
"Dormer loft conversion — we now have a master bedroom suite that's completely transformed our home. Team were on site every day, tidy and considerate. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
"Whole-house renovation — they stripped back to brick and rebuilt it beautifully. Finished on the day they said, within £200 of the quote. That's rare in this industry. Can't recommend them highly enough."
