Our Story
Oliver Harber, the founder of the company, has a lifelong passion for historic buildings and their construction.

Throughout his career, he has honed his skills from a diverse range of experienced craftsmen, acquiring expertise in traditional tasks such as joinery, heavy oak framing, and lime plastering. Oliver has been involved in various building projects throughout his career, including a diverse range of medieval cottages, numerous listed barns, churches, and a few windmills. This experience has provided Oliver with valuable insights into the challenges associated with working with historic buildings.
