Cottages Renovation – Portscatho – 2017

This project is two cottages, ‘Upalong and Downalong‘ owned by the same family for 3 generations.

We are completely gutting the properties and upgrading all electrics, heating, insulation, damp proof floorings and new kitchens and bathrooms.

Lime plastering to walls and new upgraded ceilings throughout.

All Exterior walls have been Sand Blasted to remove old flaking paint enabling us to get back to a sound surface in order to repaint using Beeks Breathable paint. All interior and exterior to be painted.

All work carried out under a J.C.T Contract and overseen by Cockram Surveyors.

Cob Cottage in Trencreek, Newquay – 2017

We have been instructed to renovate this charming Cob Cottage in Trencreek, Newquay. 

Sand and Cement applied over the years and now severe damp problems and render blown and cracked in various areas. Once the cement based render was removed it was evident that most wood lintels were rotten and had to be replaced, again once the moisture is locked in wood will decay and rot eventually also causing the cob to collapse.

Various areas needed some T.L.C and cob stitching together and a mesh over lay to prevent further cracking.

St Astier N.H.L 2 mixed with C.L.S 28 in first scatt and C.L.S 30 for dubbing coats followed by C.L.S 33 for top coat.

Kenwyn Parish Church Restoration 2016
See more photos here...

Kenwyn Parish Church, Truro – 2016

When approached by the Diocese member of Kenwyn church to undertake repairs we was delighted as we have a keen interest in Restoration work.

This fascinating 15th Century houses a peal of eight huge bells all in superb working order suspended 50 foot up the Tower.

Also an impressive tiny solid granite spiral stair reaching from the bottom to the top.

The church received a full restoration between 1820 – 1862, We have been instructed by Diocese to erect scaffolding 80ft up the clock face and suspend around one pinnacle in need of urgent repair.

The clock face has also been removed and fully restored and painted.

We undertake our work very sympathetically and our highly skilled craftsmen take great care in their work.

The pinnacle has been dismantled and rebuilt with steel dowels being resin anchored into pinnacle stones and relayed in a bed of St Astiers Lime mixed with C.L.S 30 and a Prompt.

All internal walls have been manually raked out and re-pointed with St Astiers 3.5 Lime Mixed with a C.L.S 30 grit sand.

All work under the supervision of Roger Shaw Architects.
