Your Questions, Answered

We can provide a structure-only kit or a full specification package – whatever suits your project best. Our full specification includes items such as windows, external doors, plasterboard, insulation, internal doors, staircases, skirtings, architraves, ironmongery and more, all sourced from our quality supply chains with a variety of options.

We specialise in quality pre-insulated open panel timber frame structures, manufactured in-house to the highest standards. Our panels are pre-manufactured using 140 x 38mm CLS studs at 600mm centers, with full flexibility to adapt specifications – including larger studs, varied centers, space studs, I-joist studs, and twin-wall systems. Every frame is crafted using sustainably sourced timber and undergoes rigorous quality control, backed by our ISO 9001 accreditation.

Yes. U-value calculations for our standard Premier, Premier Plus and Superior details can be supplied instantly upon request. We can also provide any u-value calculation you require for any desired bespoke insulation detail.

We can provide a number of quality solutions, depending on the type of product you are looking for, including timber, timber aluminium clad and UPVC products.

No. This process is supplied free of charge if we are commissioned to work on a project with you.

Technically yes. However, it makes no sense at all for us to compete with the services of an architect. Our design and planning service is not a full architectural service, so our services cannot be compared like for like. We actively encourage self-build clients to explore our services in tandem with the professional services of an architect, and in many cases advise architectural solutions. When a client assigns an architect as a point of contact, our focus is on supporting your relationship with your client at all times.

Yes. We can provide this service within our kit package in Scotland.

“Guarantees” on bespoke timber frame products are not as clear cut as you might expect with more standardised products. A guarantee on a bespoke timber frame depends on the insurance provisions covering the design and performance of the product. We provide a full and robust structural certificate for all our timber frames from qualified third-party engineers, which is intended to support the level of insurance required for your project. Likewise, all of Fleming Homes’ operations – both design and product – are covered by appropriate insurance in relation to the size and scope of the project. Certification can be provided upon request. This ensures a thorough and reliable response should any design or product issues arise.

The warranty on our external joinery products depends on the type of window and or external door that is provided. Please contact us directly to receive information about specific product warranties. The question of warranty is also similar to the question of guarantees. For further info please see our 'What guarantees do you provide?' question above.
