"To have the products displayed in the National Self Build & Renovation Centre in this way will enable the self builder to understand the benefits of working with a merchant to buy building materials". Tim Doherty, Managing Director - Buildstore Building Support.

Forming part of the UK's only permanent centre for self builders and renovators, the exhibition will give visitors the rare opportunity to enter a house in its construction stages and to see state-of-the-art sustainable technologies in-situ.

The Wolseley House consists of a 1,500sq ft, two-storey Frame Wise timber frame house and is open for visitors to explore at pre fit-out stage. It particularly focuses on sustainable technologies. Many of these are visible as either finished or semi-exposed products, revealing to visitors the elements required for installation.

Grant Richardson, Sales Director - Wolseley's heavyside division, added: "The Wolseley offering really covers all aspects of the self build programme - from site preparation to landscaping".

"The house will pay particular attention to sustainable building products - demonstrating how these new technologies can be implemented in the home and provide real environmental and financial benefits to self-builders' and renovators' projects."

Products from all of  Wolseley's businesses are present in the house - highlighting the range of products and technologies available from Wolseley, literally under one roof. 

Also showcased is a stylish Moores kitchen and Bathstore showroom featuring Velux windows, vaulted ceilings with the internal beams displayed and kitchen and bathroom design services are available.

The house also features a branch area, manned by a dedicated Branch Manager  - Tony Belsten who can take orders for products, look at plans, provide quotations and discuss project options. The ground floor of the building features a theatre in which seminars will be held.
