Founded on a Simple Belief
Oak-forge began in 2014 when our founder, a third-generation roofer, grew frustrated watching cottage owners struggle to find installers who understood traditional buildings. Most solar companies wanted new-builds with perfect south-facing roofs. We saw something different.
We believed that every home—regardless of age, roof type, or location—deserved access to clean energy. That meant learning the nuances of slate, tile, and thatch. It meant building relationships with conservation officers across the country. It meant developing mounting systems that respect heritage while embracing the future.
Twelve years later, that belief has shaped everything we do. We've installed solar systems on everything from Tudor farmhouses to Victorian terraces, from Lake District cottages to Kent oast houses. Each one taught us something new. Each one reinforced why this work matters.
