Before, during and after the build, the support and advice, and end product surpassed our expectations. We really didn’t think that companies like this still existed.

Nigel Papworth

Potton have the experience and technical infrastructure to provide informed support, which inspires great confidence to the inexperienced self builder.

Doug Scott

Potton were able to work with our architect designed and approved home (they do offer designs themselves), made clever alterations to design and suggested improvements, did all the building regulations, all aspects of technical information and drawings and liaise directly with our architect.

Roy & Sara Gray

We were very impressed with the range of styles and house types Potton had to offer. We really liked the fact that Potton would handle all of the design side of things and also make the planning and Building Regulations applications on our behalf.

Maureen Keevil

The design and planning service was excellent. All aspects of the building design and the internal design, including elements of the staircase, windows and doors was great.

Helen Burgess

We were received very warmly by the Potton staff each time we visited the centre, and advice and information was freely available without us feeling pressurised or followed around.

Brian Ellis

From the start we liked the Potton show house at the NSBRC, we also liked the people at Potton and their approach to the whole process. This was further endorsed by our visit to their show centre at St Neots where we got lots of inspiration!

Martin Church

If you are a first-time builder, Potton is perfectly placed to assist. Not only are they competitive on price, but they also offer several packages to suit budgets with a high-end quality product and service. A useful aspect was knowing we would be supported all the way, post-sale, throughout the build. We purchased a weather and watertight package which included foundations, roof and windows.

Roy & Sara Gray

The quality of a Potton home is very good and the builders enjoyed working with the product as there weren’t any issues. The design worked out great, and the service from the self-build consultant was extremely helpful.

Alan Burton

From the start we liked the Potton show house at the NSBRC, we also liked the people at Potton and their approach to the whole process. This was further endorsed by our visit to their show centre at St Neots where we got lots of inspiration!

Carole Green

We wanted to replace a much-loved cottage built by my great grandfather c.1840, too expensive to retrofit to modern eco-standards. Potton provided the designs, products, services and introductions to consultants, which enabled us to achieve our dream. Thank you.

Peter Fishpool

The Potton self build consultant gave excellent advice, which helped us decide that Potton was the right choice for us. The service we received was professional, efficient and we felt supported throughout the whole process.

Mark & Helen Jackson

Having the timber frame service from Potton made life an awful lot easier. By the time Potton had finished we pretty much had a house with a roof and windows, and it was watertight. Because they took charge of all of that, it took a lot of the stress off us.
