Summerhouses

Our custom built Summerhouses are ideal for creating an outdoor living space to suit your surroundings. All are sympathetically designed to blend quickly into the landscape and the highest quality new and reclaimed materials are used throughout.

These oakframed buildings can be finished with a wide range of materials such as reclaimed bricks, lime mortar, stone or leaded glass. he roof could be tiled or thatched.

We have just completed building the Summerhouse above. A a simple octagonal oak frame weatherboarded and finished with a cedar shingle roof and leaded windows and doors. As this is a bespoke service, everything can be selected by the customer to suit their own taste; from the oak floorboards inside to the hand forged ironware decorating the windows and doors.

This example has been built in our yard for you to view. (As it has had time to weather and settle in, you would be forgiven for thinking it has always been here!) Why not pay us a visit and take a closer look? It may inspire you to take advantage of this service and come up with ideas of your own - maybe an outdoor office, sauna, pool changing area or just a garden room in which to sit and relax.........

Sustainable building materials? Consider reclaim.

With the current economic climate and the need to 'be green', there has been an increased interest in the use of reclaimed materials.
By using reclaimed materials as part of your project, you are re-using a waste product and therefore maintaining a low carbon footprint (especially if these materials have been sourced locally.)
Designers, architects and landscapers are all becoming increasingly interested in the use of reclaimed products and if you are in the process of making a planning application they should be considered for their sustainability and the instant character you can achieve.
It is important to consider the use of reclaimed materials at the very beginning of your project - this way your reclamation yard can source the best quantity, quality (and price) available.
Most reclaim yards will be more than happy to help you match what you are looking for, even if you only have an idea or a cut-out from a lifestyle magazine. We can provide free quotes, site visits,product matching and ideas or advice on how to re-purpose or adapt these materials for your individual needs.

Planning a roofing job for this summer?

We now have in excess of 40 roofing squares of Stonefield Cotswold slates in stock which are currently being re-dressed, sized and caged. These are complete with long runs of cotswold ridge.
Also available are 20,000 handmade clay tiles.

These continuous-nibs are competitively priced
with fittings to match.

We have recently enlisted onto 'The Construction Centre' website.
This site is a 'one-stop shop' for anyone looking for building products, suppliers or tradesmen.
Follow the link above and take a look, I'm sure you'll agree it's a useful site to know......

Looking ahead.....

We have secured our place at the Listed Propery Show which takes place at Olympia, London on 21st & 22nd of February 2009. It is the first time we have taken part and are looking forward to meeting other exhibitors and potential customers.
This should be a great weekend - If you're interested in attending, follow the link to the website for more details:

Winter's nearly here.......

Now is the perfect time to think about any fireplaces that need attention as the nights are drawing in and the temperature's definately starting to fall. We currently have a large selection of reclaimed fireplaces and surrounds from simple victorian cast iron grates to more ornate carved stone surrounds.

Fixtures and fittings such as fenders and firebaskets are also in stock.

There are many options to be considered for use in hearths: New slate pieces, reclaimed bricks (have you considered a herringbone design using smaller 2" bricks?) and various reclaimed flags to name a few.

Don't forget, we are able to offer a cutting service if needed to ensure a good fit!

Why not visit either the yard or our website for some inspiration? You could still get a new look in time for Christmas.........

This year we shall be closing on the 19th of December and returning on the 5th of January 2009
