Timber frames have become increasingly popular across the building trade and carry considerable advantages. These include enhanced thermal/airtightness/fire-rated performance, design flexibility, speed of building, reduced on/off-site wastage, building regulations compliance, and lifetime cost savings from energy-efficient structures.
In short, choosing timber frames ensures a highly insulated, airtight building fabric, helping achieve energy smart buildings for the future.
Seviour Timber Frames Ltd is a family-run company providing energy efficient timber frames for a full range of applications across the public and private sectors. These include: single houses, social houses, schools, hotels and hospitals.
With over 25 years’ experience, the team, under the watchful eye of Managing Director, Craig Seviour, employ different styles of timber frames, cut and trussed roofs and a wide range of joists to create the perfect build every time.
The Bath-based company was established six years ago, built off the back off a previous experienced business and now uses a dedicated timber frame facility for all off-site work.
“I’ve been involved with timber frames since the age of 16 through my early apprenticeships. Since that time, I’ve been closely following the evolution of timber frames ever since. We are now using all types of insulation but mainly focus on ACTIS Insulation and H-Control. These products provide better U-value and make it easier to achieve a better airtightness.
We have completed timber builds in North Devon hospitals and hotels, with single builds delivered across the UK and one of our turnkey Bath houses was featured recently in a self-build magazine.
Seviour Timber Frames provide a complete timber package service: bronze, silver, gold and platinum, alongside our bespoke timber frame service with the highest quality joists and roofs, with a range of insulation to suit the client’s preference, budget and style.
“We now exclusively offer Project Managers for builds and/or a Timber Frame Consultant for any company’s timber frame, so the frame can be overseen and report written by an independent timber frame consultant. For our more independent clients, we offer self-build training for those that wish to build the timber frames themselves,” explains Craig.
Craig personally oversees the entire manufacturing and erecting process through to the timber frame sign off, offering seamless project management and quality assurance to customers throughout.
Seviour Timber Frames builds all its timber frames off-site, in the controlled timber frame facility. This energy efficient approach ensures the minimum amount of waste, with reduced carbon.
“Using our off-site facility also speeds up the building process, as we are not impacted by poor weather. This means the timber frames can be watertight in days, rather than weeks.
“We treat all customers personally – they are never ‘just a job’ to us and pride ourselves on offering up-to-date communication throughout the project. We know building projects can be stressful for customers, so always make sure any worries and fears are allayed.
“Looking to the future, we plan on expanding production due to increased demand, whilst maintaining our client-driven service, with market-leading timber frame builds, delivered on time.”
