FAQs

Can you help me to plan my new site?

Certainly! In fact, we love supporting new sites from the ground up. If you need support with groundworks, utilities, siting a setup as well as site development and marketing support, then you have come to the right place! Get in touch now to arrange your free 20 minute consultation.

What do I need to prepare on my land?

Prior to delivery, all groundworks, water, waste water connections and electric connections will need to be ready for us to set up yours home on the same day they arrive. As the manufacturer, we are not responsible these connections including connections to soakaways, sewers etc, however, we are always happy to support you with the preparations including liasing between yourself and the groundworks team to ensure they have prepared everything accordingly.

What happens if my land isn’t ready for delivery?

Should we arrive to discover that your land isn’t ready for delivery, i.e the ground is too soft, site access issues that were not mentioned previously etc then the home will be placed in a secondary location, either one of your choice or a rented location from ourselves. Once the land is ready, the home will be redelivered and will be the customers responsibility to pay for the redelivery and any costs incurred from the rental plot.

Are your homes eco friendly?

The word ‘eco’ has been thrown about quite a bit. Anything can be ‘eco’ should you do one green-fingered thing right, hence why we don’t like this word. But yes, our homes are extremely eco-friendly with the use of Fermacell boards which are made of specially recycled gypsum boards, which is allergy-friendly. Our timber frame design is built to last, using C24 wood from FSC woodland in the Baltics that’s slow grown, for better quality wood. Our super-insulated structure creates an ultra-performing home to reduce yearly energy bills as your home will require far less heating to warm it up as well as to maintain the temperature. We are always innovating with the newest idea is to add a lush cork finish to the exterior as a fantastic insulator and super eco product for sequestering carbon dioxide, meaning it is a carbon-negative product.

Do You Ship Internationally?

Yes, we do. We currently ship throughout Europe and the UK/Ireland. We’ve recently confirmed shipping routes from Southampton to Charleston, South Carolina, with freight-forwarding services thereafter. If you’re looking for shipping internationally, get in touch to receive a quote estimate.

What’s The Maximum Size Home You Can Build?

Currently, we can build one complete module up to 18m L and 4m W. We can also arrange a modular home with many modules that zip together such as our Jay model or Beech.

What does my home or lodge include?

In short, anything that is screwed down such as a fully integrated kitchen (including the washing machine for some models and the fridge) and fully fitted bathrooms with flushing toilets, some storage is included (see spec list of each model). Lights, switches, sockets, flooring, exterior and interior cladding, windows and doors. We don’t provide mattresses, soft furnishings etc unless requested for an additional fee.

How many can you delivery at once?

Depending on your site and chosen models, we can delivery between 5-6 units each time. To understand how many we can deliver in one day, we would arrange a site visit to discuss the site access and to decide how we will set up on the day. Our general capacity is to construct up to 12 units per month with a delivery team on hand ready to ship them to your location.

How long does it take to buy your models?

From the day of booking with a £5,000 deposit, you can expect your home in as little as 8 weeks and up to 15 weeks. This is dependent on the model, size and number of units ordered.

Which models are popular?

Depending on the site you are seeking, we have a range of popular models. If it’s for a residential home, we’d suggest our modular home range - with starts from 100m2, but if you’re looking for something more compact, then our ‘lodge’ range can equally be used for residential living, giving you space from 48-80m2, including 2-3 bedroom options.

Can you build customised homes?

Well, that depends. To create a design from scratch, there’s a lot of intensive labour to even begin the construction phase. Within reason, we can build a custom design with the expectation that it will take approximately an additional 4-5 weeks to complete the home including an additional 30% more than our typical builds.

Is it cheaper to purchase multiple units?

Yes, we do offer discounts for multiple orders. Please email us, sales@thchomes.co.uk for more info.

What groundworks do I need to do?

We offer a movable trailer that can be towed by a tractor or a large 4x4 truck or ground pads for temporary planning (or ground screws for a permanent dwelling) to ensure our models can be placed on several different types of ground. Before we arrive, your ground will need to be level with either a concrete foundation or sturdy base for the home. This is to ensure the home does not sink into grassland. We are happy to assist you with support on what to prepare with an in-depth consultation provided prior to booking your build.

Can I live ‘off-grid’ in the home or lodge?

In short, yes, most of the time. Our homes have been designed to use less energy needed to run the average home allowing our models to run off solar panels most of the year. We include, if required, extensive battery storage, even up to 30kwh, if you aim to run the home entirely from solar power. With a large array, 4kw+, and sufficient battery storage, with our innovative approach to low energy consumption homes, and passive house technology, you’ll be able to live with ease year round.
