Cotswold Flags

We often have large quantities of traditional Cotswold flag in stock. This can be 'dressed' - edges straightened and lightly polished to bring out the natural patina of the stone - to give a particularly high quality finish to the product without interfering with that 'worn in' look.

A complete 'Cabochon' floor has just come into stock. This special design incorporates slate inserts into the limestone tiles. The total amount available measures to 15 M sq, the perfect quantity to create an impressive kitchen floor / hallway........

New In.....

Measure 2.6M L x 120mm x 250mm.Hundreds now in stock priced at just £20 each (inc. vat)

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.
