COMPLETE FLAT REFURBISHMENT. BUCKINGHAM TERRACE, EDINBURGH

This was a flat refurbishment in which the client’s brief required more light and space throughout. We stripped out the existing dark mahogany staircase and flooring in the entrance hall and replaced them with caledonian solid oak .

Decoration throughout included ornate cornice work.

Great care was taken to protect furniture and furnishings and to work with the minimum disruption to the property.

GREENHOUSE. LAVEROCKBANK, EDINBURGH

The existing greenhouse was taken down and reconstructed using high quality Western Red Cedar wood, renowned for it’s natural beauty, weather resistant qualities and durability.

We built the frame and installed the glazing in our workshop.

It was an interesting project for our team and because of their excellent carpentry skills, our client was very happy with the quality of the carpentry. No planning permission was required as it was classified as an exact replacement/repair of a listed property.

EXTENSION, MURRAYFIELD, EDINBURGH

We constructed this extension in two stages to the existing building, to an architects drawings and specifications, using a steel frame designed to fit around old walnut and birch trees. The resulting rooms are sympathetic to the surrounding natural environment. The first stage was a conservatory on the first floor mounted on the steel frame. A couple of years later the client decided to proceed with the ground floor extension/diningroom.

Both projects were very interesting and we are delighted to say that the client was extremely happy.

SOLID OAK STAIRCASE. BLACKHALL, EDINBURGH

The client’s brief was to build a solid oak staircase for a fixed budget. We kept the project within the budget and the photos of the staircase illustrate the result.

The initial problem with the project was reated to the old subsidence, where all walls and floors uneven. This made the job challenging as the manufacture of the new oak staircase required to be square and true.

The cast iron spindles were cast to our specifications after the structural stair was reinstated.

DRUMMOND PLACE, EDINBURGH

The property is a splendid Georgian townhouse in Drummond Place, but in acute need of repair.

Due to the size of this project, the client had requested that we stage the rejuvenation of the property. Tasks undertaken included replacing several hearth stones, repairing stone steps in the main hallway and miscellaneous repairs to the intricate cornices.

The original fan light above the main door was also reinstated.

STONE WORK AT ST PATRICK’S CHURCH, EDINBURGH

The stone work at the door aperture was repaired by our skilled stonemason Owen Casey.

He works with ashlar and rubble walling and is skilled in producing quoins and rybats along with lintols and sills.

Owen undertakes the re-pointing of masonry, working with natural stone and traditional lime pointing techniques.
