About us

Solo Timber Frame was founded in 2003 by Chris Davenport and Hayley Roskilly, both of whom remain actively involved in the business. We have since grown to become a leading Timber Frame company in the UK with our central operations headquartered in East Sussex, complemented by regional branches in Oxford and Norfolk.

Project Manager

Nick Davenport

Chris, coming from a Property Development background, found a preference for Timber Frame in his projects due to its efficiency and effectiveness. However, the lack of satisfactory service and steep costs in the market led him to envision a superior alternative. This realisation paved the way for the establishment of Solo Timber Frame.

Boasting hundreds of years of collective experience in the UK’s Self Build Timber Frame sector, our team possesses unparalleled expertise and is well-equipped to handle any challenge in the industry.

Our team has successfully delivered numerous projects for a diverse range of clients, including Self Builders, Independent Property Developers, Architects, and various Construction Companies throughout the UK. A curated showcase of these projects is available for viewing on our Instagram feed, representing just a fraction of our extensive portfolio…

What our clients say

A great firm from start to end. Staff are wonderful. The back office is so good. Ask for something and it pings into your email within minutes. Value for money is the best without question. This is my second Self Build and the third will be with Solo as a partner. Solo are with out doubt the gold standard in the Self Build business. No one is better.

Email from Solo Customer, Mr Chris Edge

With thanks to the team at Solo, we've been able to create a beautiful bespoke home catering for the needs of our growing family. Having purchased a good sized plot with an old bungalow on it, we were guided by Chris and the design team on the best design of dwelling to fit the plot/surrounding area. From start to almost finish, has been under 12 months and a lot of that speed was down to how quickly the Timber Frame was erected. The possibilities are endless when you take the route of designing your own home.

Google review from A Goodchild

My Wife and I purchased a Solo Timber Frame bungalow and the service we received has been and still is 5 star. At all stages the team have looked after us perfectly. Well done to you all, too many to name and thank in person, but from the office to the site it has been a pleasure to work with you.

Google review from Mr & Mrs Shaw

I am a home builder with 29 years of experience.

The team has various departments, coupled with the manufacturing arm of the company. All professional, courteous, friendly and informative. They are personable, with great ideas and methods, specific to Timber Frame construction and innovative design.

Moving forward with my company, we intend to continue working with Solo, to the larger projects 50+ housing developments, and to work together in areas for true expansion in commercial home building.

There is much more to say about Solo, but I think it's best for potential customers to check them out for themselves.

Well done guys.
