Solo Timber Frame have been vetted and approved by Trading Standards. We are the first and only Timber Frame provider to have achieved this.
It took Solo and our local Trading Standards office almost six months to get to a point where we were offered membership of this scheme. CRB checks, Interviews with previous customers chosen at random by the assessing officer, Checks into our Directors business backgrounds, Close inspection of our systems and contracts and research into any previous complaints (of which there were none) all formed part of the process. In order to maintain our membership we will continue to be monitored.

Solo designed, fabricated and installed the timber frame for our new annexe... building. Thoroughly professional, easy to work with and very competitively priced. The whole team was brilliant and everything was completed on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them - they were fabulous.read more
We had some work that was needed on one of our properties (an extension).... Originally we were going to work with a local firm to quote on a relatively standard extension. A friend of ours recommended us to Solo Timber Frame. After speaking with Chris there, we decided to get him and his team in. The design and planning phase was very smooth, we were not rushed at all and Chris really helped us to identify the pitfalls as well as things that could help for the future.When it comes to the actual work, the Solo Timber Frame team were very professional, turned up when they said they would (sounds silly but there are many that don't!), project was done on time and around budget (we made changes on the way) and the final product was far better than what we had originally envisioned when we started the initial research.I cannot recommend the team highly enough.read more

LinkedIn recommendation from Solo client Mr P Patel
With thanks to the team at Solo, we've been able to create a beautiful bespoke home catering for the needs of our growing family. Having purchased a good sized plot with an old bungalow on it, we were guided by Chris and the design team on the best design of dwelling to fit the plot/surrounding area. From start to almost finish, has been under 12 months and a lot of that speed was down to how quickly the Timber Frame was erected. The possibilities are endless when you take the route of designing your own home.
