Catch up on the recent episode of Fix Radio's 'Building Ideas', when the NSBRC's Manging Director, Harvey Fremlin, talked with Mark Millar about Self Build Trends, Retrofitting & New Technology.
Each week on 'Building Ideas', Mark and guests offer practical advice, share real-life experiences and introduce ‘out of the box’ thinking, designed to help working tradespeople develop their property.
From Planning reform to Mansion-tax, there’s a lot to unpack from this year’s budget, and the announcement will feel very different from various perspectives. That’s why, we’ve summarised some of the key points, as they apply to self builders and renovators.
We’re thrilled to share that The National Self Build & Renovation Centre has been awarded ‘Sustainable Business of the Year’ at the 2025 TBE (The Business Exchange) Awards!
The awards evening took place right here at our own venue in Swindon - using our spacious and unique setting to celebrate the incredible achievements of local businesses across Swindon, Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset.
We have now officially opened our inspiring new Retrofit Zone, a hands-on exhibit showing homeowners exactly how to upgrade their homes for better comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. If you’re looking to make your home cosier, cheaper to run and kinder to the planet, then this is a must-visit exhibit!
We were delighted to have local MP, Sarah Gibson, join us to cut the ribbon at the new exhibit’s official launch on Friday 7th November - just hours after we took home the title of ‘Sustainable Business of the Year’ at The Business Exchange Awards 2025. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to helping build better, sustainable homes, and doing better, sustainable business.
