Sympathetic Restoration
Our approach to property restoration is rooted in understanding the unique history of each building. We work with traditional materials such as stone, timber, and lime mortar, ensuring that all work complements the existing structure and retains the property’s original charm.
Period Property Conversions
Bringing unused spaces back to life while maintaining the integrity of the original design is one of our specialties. Whether you’re converting an attic, barn, or outbuilding, we ensure that the new space blends seamlessly with the rest of the property.
Extensions to Listed Buildings
Extending a period property or listed building requires careful planning and execution. We use traditional building techniques to ensure that new additions are in harmony with the original structure, respecting planning regulations and the historical significance of the building.
Traditional Building Methods
We pride ourselves on using traditional craftsmanship combined with modern expertise. From hand-cut timber frames to authentic period-style finishes, our work respects the past while ensuring your home is functional for the present.
Sustainable Restoration
Preserving period properties isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s also about maintaining our environment for future generations. By using sustainable materials and practices, we aim to ensure that these beautiful buildings remain part of our heritage for years to come.
Experienced Team
With over 35 years of experience, our team will manage your entire Garden Room Build project, from planning and design to the final touches, ensuring your new outdoor structure is built to the highest standards. The goal is to create a space that’s not only functional but also enhances your home and garden, adding both value and enjoyment.
The First Step
At a first meeting, Jon will come out to your property at a time that’s convenient (this can be evenings or weekends) to understand your needs and discuss the project in detail. This is a chance for you to share your ideas, and where Jon will readily offer additional suggestions based on decades of heritage building experience. From there, we’ll will follow up with a plan that will include timelines and cost estimates, so you know exactly what to expect. Every project is unique, and we will work closely with you to come up with a plan that suits you and your budget.
