The Thompson In-House Team6. Lower running costs
You’ll see reduced running costs due to high energy efficiency and the Thompson building methods. This frees you up to pay off your mortgage (or save for your next holiday!)
7. Customise your home
Every customer receives a free colour consultation with an interior designer in our fully stocked showroom so you can personalise your new home.
8. Superior insulation
We use a 75mm anticonvulsant blanket as insulation. This makes for a more comfortable living environment and reduced running costs.
9. Vermin protection
We use a Kordon Orange Blanket on the entire perimeter of the home. Your property will have long-term protection from any termites or other invaders.
10. Minimal VOCs
Our low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) construction method means that when you move into a Thompson home you won’t get that toxic paint smell in the air, because it’s not there!
11. Fixed carpets
Mechanically fixed carpets don’t require glue. Less poison and chemicals used in the construction means a safer, more stable home environment.
12. Treated timber frame
Our certified T2 treated timber system provides better protection against bugs and vermin making our homes more sustainable and long-lasting.
