Aereco ventilation intelligently adapts to the needs of the property, according to the demand.

This approach can ensure good IAQ, as it is constantly adapting, room by room to optimise the ventilation rate. This modulation of airflow also makes the system very energy efficient as it will never under ventilate or over ventilate, even when compared to MVHR. This can be particularly useful if areas of the property have low/intermittent use for most of the time, but then have high usage for periods of time. We are the experts in this technology, so please see our website for more information.


TeleBeam Loft Conversions

Forget heavy steel beams and cranes. 

TeleBeam is the exciting new way of converting lofts.  It is the very first bespoke prefabricated system which deals with a wide range of loft conversion applications. TeleBeam has been primarily designed for the conversion of roof trusses in modern buildings. 
TeleBeam’s unique load sharing arrangement means that it is ideal for converting lofts in modern timber framed buildings.

ROCKWOOL is the UK’s leading manufacturer of stone wool insulation

From its factory in Bridgend, South Wales, ROCKWOOL produces a full range of solutions that are widely used by self-builders to create warmer, quieter and safer homes.

Harnessing the power of stone, ROCKWOOL products are great insulators and provide acoustic and fire protection too. Naturally non-combustible, stone wool can withstand temperatures in excess of 1000oC and its dense, non-linear structure traps sound waves to limit nuisance noise. As stone wool is made from volcanic rock, it can be recycled and re-used indefinitely.

Build with confidence and experience comfortable living.

Don't miss: The Building Systems Workshop

Join us at The National Self Build & Renovation Centre on Friday 18th & Saturday 19th March (10am - 4pm)

NSBRC_Building_Systems_March_2022_1024x433px.jpg

One of the most important decisions you will make during your self build journey is which building system to use. The building system is the method used to construct the superstructure of the house.

This is aimed at people at the early stages of a project, who have yet to decide what building method they are using.

Seize the Moment: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Self Build Your Dream Home

We received this blog from longstanding exhibitor, Fleming Homes and found the piece inspiring, and wanted to share this with you. We hope this offers encouragement as you embark on your homebuilding project.

"Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect." Alan Cohen*

Alan Cohen's quote captures a powerful truth that’s particularly relevant to self-building. When the housing market feels uncertain, when interest rates continue to feel elevated in comparison with the record lows of 2020-2021, or when material prices fluctuate, it’s tempting to put the brakes on our plans - to hold off until things calm down.

The Homebuilding Centre Limited - now majority owned by its employees!

Since 2014, our award-winning visitor centre (The National Self Build & Renovation Centre / NSBRC) has been owned and operated by ‘The Homebuilding Centre Limited’, an employee-owned business. We welcomed our first visitors to the NSBRC in 2007 and, eighteen years on, we remain the UK’s only permanent exhibition centre designed specifically to meet the needs of individual self-builders, renovators and home improvers.
