A few of our previous projects
The old cracked cement render was removed to show the clay lump blocks, these were consolidated with the base coat of the caulk based lime render. We also added a glass fibre based render mesh due to the proximity of the building to the road for added strength due to the movement of the road traffic and the extra moisture.
In the grounds off a 16th century cottage, was this stable block in need of repair. A new English oak sole plate, with new studs and a brace. Everything has been morticed and tenoned where original as this was found to be the case on the original plate.
All saints church, Chancel parapet wall repoint in lime, due to the old failing over time. From the harsh weather conditions and the cement based products used in the past.
Initially the job was internal lime plastering, but behind the internal cement render on metal lath was this poor timber frame. Only 30mm of the sole plate was left the rest was cement filled and bricked up externally, with fertiliser bags covering the timbers and a very thin 25mm cement render all put on around mid 1970's before the house got listed.
Window maintenance is one of the main yearly jobs to keep timber windows in their best condition. All timber windows are repairable, even in the worst condition.
The timber frame has undergone significant deterioration, primarily due to the external brick façade and the use of cement mortar. Restored its integrity, we have replaced it with new English oak, meticulously hand planed to ensure a beautiful and durable result.
A beautifully constructed oak pergola, kept sawn to allow to silver up naturally and blend into background. note there's no front to back bracing this was to allow for an uninterrupted view out of the back door.
