National Trust Visitor Centre - Stowe Gardens
We were involved in the restoration of the 18th Century Grade 1 Listed New Inn which is an integral part of the new £9 million National Trust visitor centre at Stowe Gardens. We were employed by the main contractor to assist with the project and were involved in the supervision of many trades along side their own site management team. We were also employed to source many specialist products and building materials required in listed works.
We carried a large amount of restoration works on the project supplying local labour on the project including bricklayers, carpenters, horse hair plasterers, limecrete installers, leaded light renovators, specialist glazing suppliers and installers, specialist fire protection installers, flue design and installers, decorators and labourers. We also sourced many specialist products for the project including horse hair plaster, oak, yellow pine, soundproofing products, limecrete products, lime mortar, lead paint, specialist wall paper and many other items.
We were also involved in the new build on the project working closely with the Architect as well as the National Trust's consultants sourcing specialist finishes for approval.

Oak sun room and extension - Kislingbury.
We carried out a small extension and oak sun room in Kislingbury. The works included the removal of a substantial amount of the existing high level garden and new retaining wall, construction of a small utility room and wc, new kitchen, underfloor heating, floor tiling and finishes.
