Highlights from our biggest project to date, starting with the library.📚
We removed all of the old, damaged lime plaster and laths, then supported the sagging floor joists above. This allowed us to redefine the ceiling area and shape the room’s entrance, creating a seamless flow from the library to the reading room.
We then re-lathed the entire room by hand, carefully nailing the laths with a 6mm gap between each one. Next came the lime plastering process: starting with a horsehair coat, followed by an unhaired coat and finishing with a lime putty coat.
To complete the transformation, we fitted a custom cornice made from an original mould of the cornice found in the house. Skirting and architrave were crafted from original pieces, along with the door moulding to match. Finally an oak parquet floor that ties the whole space together.

Renovating a prominent property in the heart of Sidmouth town centre is never an easy task. Years of exposure to sea air and driving winds had taken their toll — the building was truly on its last legs, with the bay windows especially close to collapse.
We’ve worked carefully and sympathetically to repair and restore as much as possible, always with preservation and longevity in mind. It’s been a labour of love bringing this piece of local history back to life.

Not a team to be deterred by an extensively long list of tricky jobs, Alex Graves Morris and his brilliant team of builders have been working tirelessly over the last couple of months, ticking off items from the seemingly never-ending to-do list. To give you an idea of the intricate and vital aspect...

We cover all aspects of building from a house build, extension or renovation, with all trades in house, all under one roof. This was a new build in the grounds of a property we had already extended and fully renovated. It gave the customer a versatile space which they could use for entertaining, as well as doubling up at extra accommodation.
