We are a family-run practice of heritage builders and renovators based in the Cotswolds, dedicated to returning historic and traditional buildings to long-lived, breathable condition. Rooted in craft, curiosity and conservation, we specialise in lime work — from forming our own lime mortars and plasters to carrying out sympathetic extensions and full restorations that respect original fabric and design intent.
What we do
Lime mortars and plasters blended on-site to match historic mixes and performance.
Repair and consolidation of masonry, limewash finishes and traditional render.
Damp and moisture assessment, control and remediation using breathable materials and proven conservation principles.
Sympathetic extensions and alterations designed to sit comfortably with older buildings rather than replace or overpower them.
Full project management and restoration work for cottages, farmhouses, period houses and other traditional structures across Cheltenham & the Cotswolds.
Building Tomorrow, Today
Our approach We treat each building as a living, functional system. The materials and methods we use must work with the building’s original construction — not against it. That means choosing lime-based solutions, careful analysis of moisture movement, and interventions that prioritise longevity, breathability and reversibility. We combine time-honoured techniques with up-to-date understanding of hygrothermal behaviour, so repairs last and historic character is preserved.
Why choose us
Family values and continuity: our team brings generational craft skills tempered by modern conservation knowledge.
In-house lime expertise: we make and test our own lime mortars and plasters to ensure compatibility and durability.
Thoughtful design: extensions and repairs are conceived to complement the original building, not mimic or dominate it.
Practical moisture solutions: detailed investigations and tailored remediation protect fabric and reduce long-term risk.
Local care and commitment: we work across the Cotswolds with respect for landscape, listing status and local vernacular.
Our promise We restore resilience to buildings conceived to endure. Every intervention is guided by material honesty, technical rigour and a desire to keep traditional buildings performing well for generations to come.
