Self Builder
Like many others, we always had this dream of building our own home. My parents had looked at this option many years ago but unfortunately their planning application was unsuccessful. They had approached Maple Timber Frame at the time and were very impressed with their service, so it seemed a logical choice to see what they had to offer when we were granted planning on a piece of land that used to form part of our garden.
From the outset, Graeme and the team were 110% dedicated to helping us see our dream through from start to finish. As a ‘maiden self-builder’, we were on the phone numerous times, with questions about this and that but everyone we spoke to was professional and just so helpful, it was amazing.
We started our build in the spring of 2010 and completed it in the autumn. The whole process was a very steep learning curve (and isn’t for the fainthearted!) but was well worth it. Yes there were stressful days but coupled with the very good days, I am pleased to report that we are still sane! And, contemplating doing another one! Of course it goes without saying, that Maple will be doing this for us too.

Are you dreading your winter fuel bills? How expensive were your fuel bills last winter? Do you remember the burst pipes and desecrated road surfaces?
Chris Martin of Churchtown, Lancashire, has no such worries. Last year, his electricity and gas bills for the entire year totalled only £500. He combined solar hot water, heat recovery ventilation, low u-value windows, a wood burning stove and low energy light bulbs with his SupaWall timber frame package from Maple Timber Frame. Maple Timber Frame's 'fabric first' approach means that the 0.11 u-value SupaWall package is a vital component in driving down fuel bills and 'future proofing' your home.
For more information on SupaWall, please call our dedicated sales team on 01995 679444.

"We selected a timber frame supplier with the best insulated panels, for the best price and a company that we felt we could work with, and Maple produces the SupaWall system.
We have a good working relationship with Maple's sales team and they have their own 'standard designs' but almost any design is possible.
The erection team arrived on site the day promised and advised what was needed for their site team, so there were no surprises for either party.
We are very pleased with the finished result and the SupaWall system."
