Another project completed today ✔️
This project involved the complete removal of the existing render, followed by repointing with an NHL lime mortar mix to ensure the building remains breathable. Exposing the original stonework has completely transformed the appearance of this beautiful cottage and brought back so much of its character.
As with many restoration projects, a few challenges arose along the way. The original timber window heads had suffered significant water damage over the years and were beginning to rot. These were carefully replaced with reclaimed stone heads, chosen to match the cottage’s original look and preserve its character.
The windows themselves were also showing signs of age, so some restoration work was carried out to freshen them up and improve their appearance.
To finish things off, all external cables were reorganised and rerouted where possible, creating a much cleaner and tidier finish.
A big thank you to Abbi and Ashley for being fantastic clients to work for throughout the project. The endless supply of coffee and cold drinks was very much appreciated!
We’re delighted with the finished result, and it’s great to see this lovely cottage looking its best once again.
