It’s the small details that make the difference 🔨

While working on a new roof, we ran into a problem — the old stone cill was sitting directly on top of the roof.... Cutting corners wasn’t an option.

So, using a beautiful thick piece of slate we had, we created a bespoke stone cill. It took a few hours to get it smooth and clean, then cut a proper drip bead underneath to make sure water sheds exactly where it should.

To finish it properly, we also had a custom lead tray made to sit in the gap, giving full protection and long-term weatherproofing.

Was it worth it?
100% 😏

This re-roof was part of a larger renovation project and needed a full strip back.

Started by removing the external insulation, then took off all the old insulation and felt. The original roof had plenty of broken slates and ongoing leaks, so it was rebuilt properly with new felt and battens, re-slated using reclaimed Welsh slate.

Finished off with new leadwork chased into the stonework and a Velux window installed. Solid, watertight, and ready for the next stage of the renovation. 👍

🔨 Another job done! 🔨

The Client was dealing with a cold room but had very little space to sacrifice, so we went with insulated plasterboard as the best solution. Once installed, everything was fixed correctly to meet regulations, then fully skimmed with plaster for a smooth, clean finish.

To finish it off, I added a new window sill, carefully hid all fixings, and sealed everything with silicone for a neat, professional result.

A warmer room, minimal space lost, and a tidy finish 👌

It's sometimes a really tough conversation to have with a client, but it's something we all need to consider before any new project!
