The work
speaks for itself.

A period country house with a tired block-paved drive that had sunk in three places and grown weeds in every joint. The owners wanted a clean, seamless approach that suited the stone façade and would still look showroom-fresh in ten years.

The old base was uneven, part cracked concrete and part unbound hardcore, with a soakaway that was silting up. Anything laid on top of that would fail inside two winters — the surface is the easy bit, the base is the whole job.

We stripped the existing surface, dug down to sound ground, laid a fresh MOT Type 3 sub-base and permeable open-textured asphalt binder course to the correct falls, then hand-trowelled the resin-bound aggregate in one continuous pour to avoid any cold joints.

A Victorian terrace with a cramped galley kitchen and disconnected garden. The owners wanted one continuous cooking, dining and living space that opened fully to the outside without losing storage or warmth.

A narrow party wall, a shared drain run and a family living in the property throughout the build. Every delivery had to be booked in and the kitchen had to remain usable until the final week.

We phased the strip-out so the family retained a working sink and hob for eight of the eleven weeks. A single site manager ran every trade — steels, glazing, joinery and finish — off one programme.

A Regency townhouse kitchen with beautiful bones but a 90s fit-out. The client wanted a hand-painted shaker kitchen that respected the room's proportions and lasted the next 20 years.

Original walls out of square by up to 22mm across a 4m run. Cabinetry had to look factory-perfect against timber that hadn't moved since 1830.

We built a full digital model, scribed every end panel on site and hand-painted cabinets in three coats over primer. Reveals held at a consistent 3mm around every appliance.

A Georgian townhouse dining room. The clients had bought a substantial brass chandelier and wanted the whole room to earn it — panelling, ceiling detail and a three-coat paint finish.

The existing ceiling rose couldn't take the chandelier's 24kg load, and the room had never been fully decorated properly since the 1970s.

We opened the ceiling, added a steel back-plate onto the joists, restored the plaster rose, then took the room back to bare plaster for panelling and paint.

A young family wanted a kitchen that could handle school-morning chaos and Sunday dinners. The brief was warm, practical and hard-wearing — nothing fragile.

The existing waste run couldn't handle a Belfast sink's flow, and the wall tiles were laid over three previous adhesive layers that had to come off.

We re-cut the waste at fall, stripped tiles back to sound plaster, and installed a bridge-tap Belfast sink with a hardwood draining board — everything sealed for a family that actually cooks.

A stone-built Edwardian home with a full-width unused loft. The owners wanted a master bedroom, walk-in storage and enough head height to feel like a proper first-floor room.

Head height was tight and the roof structure had never been designed for habitation. Building Control needed structural calcs signed before a single board went in.

We worked with the structural engineer to specify steels and new rafters, sprayed insulation to the pitch, and hid all storage in the awkward eaves rather than fighting them.

The client had stayed at a hotel in Milan and wanted their principal bathroom to feel the same way — quiet, warm underfoot, and dark enough to be relaxing at night.

The room was small for the ambition — a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and double vanity had to fit without the space feeling forced.

We used continuous large-format marble to trick the eye, put underfloor heating on a dedicated zone, and specified matte-black brassware to keep the palette calm.

Two small reception rooms opened into one, with a media wall that housed the TV, fire, storage and every cable — nothing visible.

The dividing wall was structural, the floor levels were 18mm apart, and the client wanted the media wall to look built-in, not fitted.

We specified an RSJ over the opening, screeded the floor to a single plane, then designed the media wall as full-height panelling with the TV and fire recessed into the same façade.

The homeowners wanted their extension to feel like an outdoor room in summer and a snug in winter — bi-folds that fully stacked, a roof lantern for grey days, and heated stone underfoot.

The garden sloped 400mm across the opening. Getting a level threshold that still drained properly needed the patio and the interior floor to be designed as one system.

We poured a stepped patio to give a 5mm downfall away from the threshold, ran a hidden channel drain along the opening, and installed the bi-folds on a thermally broken track sitting flush with the finished floor.
