Thorteck

Thorteck Ltd are Traditional & General Builders, we undertake conservation and restoration work on older buildings, we use traditional building methods and materials conserving the buildings historic integrity and we can repair or extend any period property. Thorteck Ltd also has a general building division which can offer all the services for modern building projects. Our projects range in size from the complete restoration of a building to the repair of a single element, such as the chimney, roof or plasterwork.

Thorteck Ltd is a specialist building company that uses a combination of traditional building and repair methods and materials and also some modern methods. Our materials are usually sourced locally but sometimes we need to search the rest of the UK to find the correct product for a specific contract. Our work benefits the old building as we use materials that will live in harmony with it, allowing it to breathe: lime plasters, wattle & daub, limewash. We have over 160 years collective knowledge of working with traditional building methods and materials.

We recently employed Thorteck as the Main contractor for maintenance works to St. Mary's Parish Church, Newent. Most of the work was at high level requiring specialist access provided by Thorteck. They were very attentive to the needs of the church as a place of worship and as a building of historic importance. The site was kept secure at all times and was left clean & tidy on completion, such that the church cleaners were very impressed. I found Steve Burchell the Director of Thorteck professional, honest, open, concerned for the church, attentive to our needs, very straightforward, and easy to deal with; this attitude also extended to all his staff and particularly the foreman employed on the work, they were competent in all respects and I would be very pleased to have them work for us again in the future.
