Services
Lime Mortar Plastering
Our lime mortar plastering restores historic buildings using traditional techniques that allow structures to breathe. This method prevents damp by accommodating natural movement in soft masonry, offering self-healing properties through microcrack recrystallisation. Ideal for listed properties, our breathable solutions maintain structural integrity while addressing modern performance requirements.
Stone Masonry
Specialist stone masonry services preserve and enhance period properties through authentic rebuilding and repointing. We match original materials using natural earth pigments for pointing, working with both flint and dressed stone. Our techniques ensure structural longevity while maintaining historical accuracy for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Bespoke Carpentry
Tailored carpentry solutions create unique timber features using traditional joinery methods. From oak beams to complete timber frames, our craftsmen produce energy-efficient structures that blend heritage techniques with modern insulation standards. Each project receives custom design input to meet specific architectural requirements.
Heritage Restoration
Comprehensive restoration of listed buildings combines specialist lime works with traditional building methods. We address structural challenges through breathable materials, including lime screeds, hemp plaster insulation, and authentic pointing techniques. Our award-winning approach preserves historical integrity while implementing modern performance upgrades.
Domestic Extensions
Modern home extensions and refurbishments delivered by experienced tradespeople with heritage expertise. Our team handles complete renovations including plumbing, electrical work, and roofing, while maintaining compatibility with period properties. We specialise in integrating contemporary amenities without compromising historical character.
