At Kingdom Rooms, we believe great buildings should make a lasting difference, not just to those who enjoy them, but to the world around them. By crafting durable, low-maintenance spaces and finding creative uses for every scrap of material, we cut waste, save energy, and share our resources with local projects. It’s our way of building stronger communities while caring for the planet.

Reducing Waste

Donating Excess Material
Whilst wood donated to a local artist Tilehurst Woodworks makes year round and seasonal items from other waste profiles. Waste is kept to a minimum by ordering optimum size timber lengths from suppliers. Our own stock facility allows us to buy in bulk, reducing supplier deliveries.
Working With Local Charities
Partnering local Charity Reading Repair Cafe we sponsor a project to turn timber smaller off cuts into Bird Box Kits. We also reached out to our network of trade contacts to join us. Volunteers process and pack these ready for local children to gain practical experience assembling and using these for our local wildlife. We treat timber after we install, allowing waste pieces to be used for natural, non-chemical uses such as this.

Forest Stewardship Council
FSC – Forest Stewardship Council UK internationally promote environmental and social benefits of responsable timber use. We use FSB and also PEFC approved wood, helping protect our natural environment.
Optimal Insulation
Our PVC windows and doors use A+ Rated glazing for optimum insulation whilst the frame are environmentally friendly Lead-Free plastic. Three times more efficient than normal double glazing, our beneficial ‘G’ Value allows Free heat gain from the sun, whilst a costing reflects back escaping heat (just like a thermos flask). Internal blind options reduce heat gain as they reflect solar rays.
Use of Technology
Technology has created multiple benefits. Our site installers use devices to view all your cloud based notes, so no paper and we can (and have) Facetimed clients as far away as the Caribbean checking detail as we build. Our accounts are moving to paperless along with all correspondence and we have even requested certain suppliers amend documents so your customers need less ink if printing.
Low Carbon Footprint Build
Factory built, site assembled and finished, our build process is quick and efficient. Our impact on your garden is minimal too, great for the lawn and your local nature. Our ground screw bases are favoured by Tree Protection Officers as we avoid harmful concrete, which often contain vegetation killing lime. All processes reduce deliveries to and waste from site, great for a low carbon footprint build.
Robust Cladding
Being a solid profile (instead of a conventional hollow section), our cladding is less liable to damage than others, so we see less waste and you have little chance of future damage too. Some offcuts are donated to make plant boxes whilst smaller pieces and wrappings make their way back to the manufacturer for recycling. An international manufacturer who listened to our requests to initiate this trial service now in place.
Window & Door Corners
They make look uninteresting but these protect the corners of windows and doors whilst in transit. Our manufacturer makes 2500 products a week, so that’s 10,000 corners used weekly (or half a million annually). A small step, we led the way by starting a scheme to return these once removed on site. Reducing the use of plastics and helping our supplier reduce product costs.
Our community and environment are at the heart of what we do and create. Whilst are buildings are created to outlast other buildings, we also reduce our waste as well as your heating and maintenance requirements. Our minimal waste has become treasure in other hands whilst we derive pleasure and reward from using our time and resources to enlighten local lives.
