It's great to see progress continuing on our extension project in Yeoford, near Crediton.

The external walls have now been fully insulated, the glazing has been installed, and we're moving forward with the plastering and internal woodwork. It's rewarding to see a project really start to take shape as it moves into the finishing stages.

We're also pleased to have recently started work on a new project outside Shillingford, near Bampton, where we'll be converting an agricultural barn into a new home. It's an exciting project and we're looking forward to sharing updates as the transformation progresses.

If you're considering an extension, renovation or conversion project, we'd be happy to discuss your plans - give John a call on 07815 064466.

We were delighted to be asked to create bespoke doors, a sink area, and a range of finishing touches for Hawke Barn , a stunning wedding and events venue in Stoodleigh, near Tiverton.

An important part of the project was to make sure that every new addition blended seamlessly with the barn's existing character and features. From the craftsmanship to the final details, everything was carefully designed to complement the venue's unique style and is ready for the final paint finish.

We're really pleased with the finished result – and we think it looks pretty good too!

Another project taking shape in Bishops Nympton. What a cracking view the team have had!

We’ve been carrying out structural carpentry work as part of a new roof project alongside Kilbride Roofing Limited .

Quality timber work and solid preparation are key to ensuring a roof stands the test of time, and it’s great to see this one coming together.

If you’re planning a building, or carpentry project and need reliable, local craftsmanship, get in touch with John today on 07815 066446.

We recently completed this bespoke built-in storage solution for a client, in a small and awkward corner of a bathroom.

The client wanted to paint the finished product themselves, so our job was to make sure everything was perfectly prepped and ready to go. Here's what we did:

✅ Prepared the area
✅ Built the custom studwork framework
✅ Installed the shelving
✅ Crafted a bespoke door to fit the exact space
✅ Fully primed and prepped, paint-ready for the client

Whether you want us to handle everything from start to finish, or just get it build-ready for you to add your own personal final touch, we can work to suit you.

We're well underway on this extension project over in Yeoford, near Crediton, and it's shaping up nicely! It's always satisfying to watch a build come together from scratch.

We started with clearing and preparing the ground, got the foundations in, and then laid the first course of bricks. A big thanks to William Butt for doing the groundworks, much appreciated. From there it was straight on to getting the timber frame up, which is where it really starts to look like a building.

We'll be posting more updates as the build progresses - there's plenty more to come before this one's finished, so keep an eye out if you want to see how it all comes together.

If you're thinking about an extension and you're local to the Mid Devon area, feel free to give us a shout, happy to have a chat about what you've got in mind: 07815 066446

Happy Easter from all of us at John Tolly Carpentry and Building Services!

We hope you're looking forward to enjoying the long weekend, whether that's time with family, a bit of DIY inspiration, or just a well-earned rest!

John was out earlier this week at a local networking event Mid Devon Network - Business Networking in Crediton , where we had the chance to talk through what we actually do - and more importantly, how we do it. It was a great opportunity to meet some brilliant local businesses and share a bit about what goes into a project from start to finish.

From new builds and extensions, to garage conversions and full renovations, every job we take on follows a proper process - initial consultation, planning, all the groundwork and structural work through to the finishing touches. No cutting corners, no surprises. Just a straightforward, experienced team who genuinely care about getting it right.

We've been doing this for over 30 years across Devon, Somerset and Exmoor, and that experience really does make a difference - whether you're at the early ideas stage or ready to get started.

If you've been thinking about a project - big or small, feel free to give us a call or drop us a message. We are always happy to have a chat.

A lot of critical processes in a build project happen right at the beginning.

From foundations and structural supports to the walls and roof structure, these early stages are what give a build its strength and shape.
