We don't do quick fixes or modern compromises. Our craft is rooted in deep historical understanding and a reverence for the techniques that built Cornwall. When you invite us to work on your property, you are bringing back the old ways.
The maritime climate is notoriously harsh on wood. We specialize in the sympathetic splicing and repair of traditional roof timbers, lintels, and joists. Rather than tearing out history, we carefully cut away wet or dry rot, joining new oak or Douglas fir to the ancient timbers using traditional carpentry methods.
Water finds a way. Our bespoke lead flashings are designed specifically to weather the brutal Atlantic gales. We don't use modern sealants that degrade in UV light; we dress and boss natural sheet lead by hand, ensuring valleys and chimneys remain watertight for centuries.
Owning a Grade II listed building is a privilege, but it carries immense legal responsibility. Replacing a slipped slate or repointing a wall with the wrong material isn't just bad practice—it's an illegal alteration. We work hand-in-hand with Conservation Officers, ensuring every intervention is historically accurate and fully compliant.
