Sustainability Focussed Timber Frame Specialists
Timber is well-known for its sustainability as a building material. Unlike other materials, timber is renewable, biodegradable, and energy-efficient. Sourcing sustainable timber involves responsible forest management practices, where new trees are planted for every one that is harvested. This helps maintain the balance of ecosystems and supports biodiversity. Additionally, timber has a smaller carbon footprint compared to other materials. The production process for timber requires less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases. By choosing timber-framed houses, homeowners play an active role in reducing CO2 emissions and fighting against climate change.

Cost Effective Timber Homes in Peterborough
Timber frame houses provide a cost-effective option with pre-fabricated panels, reducing labour needs. This can lead to savings. Additionally, timber frame construction is less impacted by weather delays, further cutting costs. Choosing timber frame construction for your home offers numerous advantages, from its eco-friendly and energy-efficient qualities to its appealing look and flexibility. Consider a timber frame home as a distinctive, environmentally friendly, and budget-conscious choice that will endure.
Incorporating Renewable Energy
Timber-framed houses not only prioritise eco-friendly construction practices but can also take it a step further by integrating renewable energy sources. Solar panels on the roof allow homeowners to harness the sun’s power for clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and fighting climate change. Moreover, geothermal energy can be tapped into for natural heat from the earth. These renewable sources offer a sustainable energy solution while lessening environmental impact. To add to this, low-flow fixtures like faucets and showerheads can be included in timber-framed houses to reduce water usage without compromising functionality. Pairing rainwater harvesting systems with efficient fixtures helps homeowners cut down on water consumption and contribute to a greener future.

Testimonials
I've used Philip and his team on 3 projects. Such a fantastic service and nothing is too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend and especially if it's your first self build, as Philip is extremely helpful with the planning process.

My dad and I have had the privilege of working with Phil and Neil at Maple Timber Frame for over 20 years, and every experience has been an absolute pleasure. Their exceptional attention to detail, adaptability, and unwavering dedication consistently shine through. They go above and beyond to ensure that their frames are delivered and erected on-site promptly and efficiently. Their commitment and hard work are a true testament to their professionalism and expertise in the craft.

Anthony B.,
Bought a timber frame from Maple a couple of years ago. They were a great help during the design process and we can say now that the end result is all they promised, a super house with high insulation values and low heating bills, well done Maple!
Derek W.,
The chosen frame was the standard Maple 90mm design, which was filled with90mm of mineral wool. Though Maple also offer a 140mm frame with higher levels of insulation, Graham and Suzanna’s house achieved an energy efficiencySAP rating of 99 out of 100, so they feel they made the right choice

The Parkyns were determined not to cut corners, and visited some of the Maple’sprevious clients, talking to them about the service. Chris wanted Maple to obtain building regulation consent, supply and erect the frame, and provide the second fix carpentry, but preferred to subcontract out to the various other trades and purchase further materials for himself.
Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine,
Maple Timber Frame helped the Nozedars throughout their project – liaising with the planners and adapting the plans. They had designed the chalet bungalow from the outside, in order to meet all planning requirements.
Homebuilding & Renovating,
After tendering to three timber frame companies the Spraggana chose Maple TimberFrame, who returned the cheapest quote and was the only company prepared to create a totally bespoke frame to Keith Cattell’s design
Homebuilding & Renovating,
The Hansons started by visiting timber frame show homes. They found that many of the designs had vertical wooden posts as standard. While they could see their charm, they could also imagine the bumped heads and tears. The absence of posts was the initial attraction to timber frame manufacturer, Maple. ‘We also like Maple because they were a small, friendly company’ said Caroline. ‘It was great to see the company director, Philip Price, take such an active, hands-on interest in our project.’
Caroline,
The classic stone portico over the front door was created by a specialist firm of stonemasons, Faussets near Blackpool in Lancashire, recommended by Maple. Even allowing for transport costs (to Cambridgeshire), we reckon that we would have had to pay two or three times the price to have had the portico built locally.
Graham & Suzanna,
The erection of the timber-frame was a model of efficiency. The three-man teamarrived mid morning . . . and by the end of the first day already had the frame erectedto first floor level. The entire job took just one week.
Build it Magazine,
I have a complete distrust of tradesmen, which helped us to decide on a buildingusing timber-frame. It is such a quick process, which gives a weathertight shellwithin a few days.
Chris Parkyn,
We wanted to build in timber-frame because it would be quicker than brick and block. We also wanted a house with good thermal values. We wanted apackage company that would give us support all the way through the project, so we simply worked our way through the Build It list of package companies and contracted seven or eightwho sounded suitable
Graham Reynolds,
Lynn and Audrey had visited the Homebuilding & Renovating Show together and hadboth been impressed by Maple Timber Frame, who worked with them to develop theirideas into workable designs. They were interesting to talk to and interested in what wehad to say, but what really clinched it was their flexibility. We weren’t prepared tocompromise on our design.
Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine,
We were on site before the full tendering process for the timber frame was complete.We went to about eight companies and based on a combination of cost and reportsfrom others before deciding on Maple.
