Traditional Cotswold Stone Roof Tiles

Traditional stone tiled roofs are a recognisable and much loved feature of the Cotswolds but as many of these are listed properties, they require sensitive repair by skilled roofers to meet conservation standards. We specialise in reclaimed Cotswold stone tiles, having a consistant stock of locally sourced slates available from Stonefields to the slightly thicker Tetbury stone.

Upon arrival, each one is cleaned and stacked vertically to avoid being damaged and sorted by size ready to be laid in the customary diminishing fashion.

Our tiles are sold by the roofing square ( 10ft x 10ft ). Please contact us with enquiries:

Reclaimed paving

Despite the typically wet English summer we are having, peoples attentions are still turning to their gardens and outdoor living areas. Laying a patio or paving is a quick and easy way of creating a low-maintainance area to enjoy. We currently have a range of reclaimed paving in stock including York stone, Blue Lias, traditional Cotswold flag and the reclaimed sandstone pictured.

There is a large amount of this available at present. Being quite uniformed in both depth and flag sizes, it is incredibly easy to lay and the smooth finish means it even looks great when wet.

This is a very durable product, available in a range of colourings from blues to buff.

When buying reclaimed paving:

* We sell our paving by area rather than weight. This can be benificial as the thicker the slabs, the less you'd get to a tonne.

* Some larger pieces may be priced seperately as they can be harder to source.

* Look out for oil stains - if the paving has been reclaimed from an old mill or factory floor, they may be oil stained. This can be difficult to remove and when re-laid could seep out.

How much is this?

If you ever visit our yard or take a look at our website, you will notice most things aren't priced. This is because cost can vary due to availability, condition or size. Being flexible, it means you, as a customer, will be given the correct price at the time, ie: if we have done some clever buying and can afford to sell at a lower price than normal you will benefit.
There is always somebody available here to answer any queries so please don't hesitate to ask - this doesn't commit you to buying!
And please remember, all prices are subject to VAT at the current rate.

Summerhouses

Our summerhouses are custom-built to order allowing you the freedom to design an area which suits you and your personality. By looking at the surrounding environment of the intended space, we will produce a sympathetic design which will blend quickly into the landscape.

A wide range of materials and techniques are to be considered, from choosing the bricks and mortar to installing the windows and deciding whether to have the roof tiled or thatched.

Why not call and visit us and take a look at the example built in the yard?

If you then decide to take advantage of this bespoke service we can put the kettle on and start putting together some ideas..........

Malvern 2008

We were more than happy to be involved with the RHS spring gardening show again at Malvern. We worked with the students from Hartpury College who had designed a Mediterranean terrace complete with Farmhouse, vegetable patch and olive tree. I say we worked with them but in honesty, we supplied the materials and they did the rest!!

The finished entry looked fantastic and was awarded a silver-gilt medal.

This project was a good opportunity for people to see reclaimed materials used to their best potential. It hopefully gave some inspiration too, as the farmhouse structure built for the garden could be used as an example of the custom built summerhouses we offer.

What's new?

These hand carved ornate pillar bases would make a feature in any outdor space but why not use them as a plinth for one of the sundials currently in stock?

Oak boards in particularly long lengths and York stone in particularly deep slabs!
