Industry Leaders

Over the years our building and restoration business has grown from strength to strength.

Currently headed up by Frank Rawle, who himself was taught by his father David, we have gained a considerable reputation within the industry and are now widely recognised as one of the leading restoration companies in the U.K.

We undertake all aspects of restoration, from total rebuild to refurbishment on many different types of historic buildings. In particular, we have extensive experience working with cob buildings, which require in-depth specialist knowledge which sometimes sees us working alongside a highly regarded Civil Engineer who is a specialist in his field.

Being specialists in traditional buildings, we can ensure that the service you receive from us will be second to none.

Sympathetic Restoration

Only a select few understand the heritage of British buildings as well as we do. So whether you're looking to restore your property to its former glory or to add a modern twist, we can ensure that your project remains sympathetic to its original character.

We have years of experience working on historic buildings throughout the U.K. be it on cob and earth properties, Tudor, Edwardian, Victorian, Georgian etc. so we understand how important it is to treat each of these individual styles of building with respect for the way they were constructed originally.

The house in the picture on the left is one that we have carried out a massive renovation using lime mortar. Lime has been around for a very long time and to this day, still offers the ideal solution to letting the fabric of a building breathe.

We specialise in working on Listed properties and liaise closely with Listings and Conservation officers to ensure the building is restored in the correct manner. We can also assist with Listed Planning Applications.

Highest Quality Materials

Understanding the original construction methods and materials used to build your property means that we can provide the knowledge and expertise needed to ensure your restoration project meets the highest standards as you would only expect from master tradesman.

Because we manufacture by hand our own range of traditional building supplies specifically for rendering and the restoration of heritage buildings, it allows us to ensure that only the highest quality materials are used to restore your property and bring in a new lease of life into your home.
