Work is progressing well at our Elmsett site. Savolit boarding is now complete in preparation for lime plastering.

Our Emil has done a fantastic job with the arch wall at Cornard - great work Emil!

We are making great progress at our Elmsett site. The soleplates and frame are now all in. Next steps are the facing bricks and boarding followed by lime plastering.

We are forming brick arches at out Little Cornard site. Some arches can be entirely self-supporting, but others need methods of shoring and bracing them. They need to be supported throughout the entire construction process.

Works at Elmsett are coming along really well. The soleplates, upright oak beams and brickwork are almost all complete. It's looking great!

We were asked to repair a roof in Great Waldingfield, following wind damage that was done in the storms a few weeks ago. The roof was prepped ready for the GRP fibreglass finish.

Internal works have also begun and we will update you on these as we progress!

We have been building a bespoke pub in Nayland. Finishing touches have been done in the last few days, including wallpapering with this fantastic paper!

The team have been busy at our Elmsett site installing the sole plates.

We are cutting the tenons and mortises in preparation for the soleplates to be installed across the whole building. These are a type of joint that have been used for hundreds of years to join two pieces of wood (or other material). The tenon part acts as a peg, whilst the mortise is the hole/slot in which the tenon is inserted. They create a very strong, stable joint. We are protecting the original wattle and daub panels whilst doing this.

We have begun structural work on a new project in Little Cornard. The first job is removing the party wall chimney from ground to first floor, then we will install Helifix rods to the mortar joints. This will stop any movement from occurring. Next we will be removing the load bearing wall on the stairs and installing an oak frame. We will keep you updated on our progress!
