Restoration project compared to renovation project.

Trevor talks briefly about this restoration project in Birdlip, Cotswolds, and why restoration projects can come with additional costs that you need to allow for.

For example, the existing windows on this property couldn’t simply be replaced. They needed to be carefully restored, which can add time and cost to the project.

Restoration requires a different approach to a standard renovation, with more consideration for the original character and features of the property.

At Thorn Homes, we’ve completed many restoration projects, so we know what to look out for and how to approach them properly.

NATURAL STONE THAT’S BEEN APPROVED FOR THE COTSWOLDS

Choosing the right stone for a new build in the Cotswolds isn’t just about how it looks — it needs to be right for the location and meet the relevant planning requirements.

For this 5-bedroom new build, the natural stone has been pre-approved by Cotswold District Council, giving us confidence that the chosen material is appropriate for the development.

The stone has also been etched and tumbled to give it a more natural, weathered appearance.

So, what does that mean?

🔨 Etched – the surface is lightly textured to reduce the freshly cut, uniform appearance of new stone.

🪨 Tumbled – the stone is gently agitated to soften the edges and corners, creating a more aged, naturally weathered look.

The result is a stone that feels more established and sits naturally within the Cotswold setting.

Behind the finished stonework is a lot of careful planning. We’ve worked closely with Building Control, our structural engineer and the architect throughout the project to make sure the construction details are right.

The project has also been designed to meet the requirements for a structural warranty, giving the future homeowner additional reassurance.

At Thorn Homes, we believe getting the details right starts long before the first stone is laid.

A 5-bedroom Cotswold home is taking shape… 🏡

New Build 56 is well underway — a stunning 5-bedroom detached home on the edge of the Cotswolds, being built in natural stone to complement its surroundings.

In this latest update, Trevor takes us around the build and explains a little about SureCav, the high-performance cavity drainage system being used to help protect the building from moisture.

So, what is SureCav?
SureCav is a plastic cavity drainage system installed within the wall construction. It helps manage and direct any water that enters the cavity, providing an additional layer of protection against damp and moisture.

Another important detail that might not be seen once the house is finished — but makes a big difference to how it performs.

Watch Trevor’s latest update to see how New Build 56 is progressing.

CAVITY WALL EXPLAINED: NATURAL STONE NEW BUILD 🏡

How do you build a modern, energy-efficient home using traditional natural stone?

On this 5-bedroom new build on the edge of the Cotswolds, Trevor explains how the cavity wall is being constructed using SureCav, a Radon Barrier and a running damp tray.

So, what do they do?

🔹 SureCav – creates a clear cavity behind the natural stone, helping prevent moisture from bridging across to the inner wall.

🔹 Radon Barrier – provides a continuous barrier against radon gas entering the building through the ground and helps maintain the required protection around the structure.

🔹 Running Damp Tray (DPC) – helps stop moisture from travelling upwards through the wall, directing any water within the cavity safely back to the outside.

Together, these details help create a durable, well-protected and energy-efficient building envelope, while allowing us to achieve the traditional natural stone finish.

🎥 Watch Trevor explain how it all works on site.

How do you make sure your building project is money well spent?

For Trevor, it starts long before the first brick is laid. With years of experience in construction, he’s seen what can add value to a home — and the mistakes that can end up costing homeowners far more than they expected.

In this video, Trevor explains how he got into construction and why his experience can help you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes and maximise your investment.

Because it’s not just about building more. It’s about building better.
