Oak & Timber Framing

All timber framing cut by hand on our own benches using green English oak, traditional mortice-and-tenon joinery, and pegged assembly. No glue-laminated softwood, no catalogue kits.

Typical projects: oak garden rooms, timber-framed porches, garages, carports, agricultural buildings.

Lime Render & Pointing

Repointing and lime rendering of period walls where modern cement has caused damage, or where original work has perished. We mix our own lime mortars on site to match existing.

Typical projects: full re-renders, tuck pointing, repair of failing cement pointing, basement & cellar damp-proofing using breathable limes.

Restoration of Period Features

Sash windows, stone fireplaces, flagstone floors, oak doors and inglenooks. If it's old and it's broken, we can almost certainly put it right — and if we can't, we know someone who can.
