We have been involved in various projects internally & externally for our client under RTP surveyors with the most recent project was to remove Delabole slates that were falling off due to fatigue. We carefully removed every slate under the watch of Sam, a Bat Ecologist to ensure no Bats was present. All slates graded, sized and relayed with lime scantle mix prepared by Cornish Lime. We also removed the old lead from the bay window and replaced using Code 8 Lead complete with the a new lead welded hopper.
Our client found our website on Google. We were instructed to complete a small job. Following this they asked us to renovate the downstairs and garden area of their property. This included internally a new kitchen, utility room and dog wash room together bi fold doors from IQ glass. Externally, new pathways and steps constructed and build, porcelain and Cinder planks throughout, hot tub and sauna area, supplying and installing Gabion Baskets and constructing new block curvature walls all stone faced with Trevillet Natural Stone which was locally sourced from Trevillet Quarry.
This project came as a recommendation from a previous client. We were asked to carryout general alterations – new kitchen and utility, handmade wardrobes and cupboards to several rooms, new serving hatch aperture between kitchen/lounge, new porcelain tiles throughout, electrical and plumbing work.
A1 Complete Builders Limited were commissioned to carry out a small lime restoration project involving an example of aged lime plaster that had significantly deteriorated over time.
The existing plaster was found to be crumbling and detaching from the underlying cob structure. This deterioration had been ongoing for several years, during which time water ingress had further compromised the integrity of the cob.
We were instructed by RTP Surveyors on behalf of Wadebridge Town Council to construct and install a disabled welfare unit/toilet facilities for public use.
We have been instructed to rebuild the gable end, external chimney in an old cob cottage which collapsed in Fraddon, Cornwall. A crack appeared and within two hours the whole gable chimney breast and chimney collapsed. A1 Complete Builders Ltd have rebuilt the whole gable using around a thousand cob blocks supplied by Cornish Lime. We also rebuilt the chimney and lime plastered using St - Astiers N.H.L 2 mixed with C.L.S 30 and 35.
A1 Complete Builders have been recommended by Mr Phil Northey of Tecbuild to undertake some remedial works to a damp property.
Surface condensation is by far the most frequently encountered form of dampness in buildings and generally it is the most easily recognised with visual signs of mould grown in the main living room and solid walls construction. The temperature at which air can no longer hold excess water vapour is know as the Dew Point, surface condensation is thus formed when moist laden air comes into contact with cold surfaces which then becomes cooled. If cooled far enough it reaches the dew point temperature and the water vapour is released as condensation and associated black mould growth. Therefore, remedial works will have to be carried out IWI Insulation on living room walls (Isotherm or Marmox Board) and re-skim plus decoration on Anti-mould emulsion, installation of a Positive Input Ventilation (PVP) into the existing loft space and the use of Dryseal Water Repellence on existing stone/render from wall externally.
Result is NO MORE BLACK MOULD!
