The larger of two extensions to this farmhouse taking shape! With the addition of a utility and shower room completed on the east side leaving just ground works to carry out, it’s time to extend the living room space.

Anyone who knows will tell you just how tricky it can be when tying-in and seeming a new roof into an existing, particularly when it’s a hundred or so years old and far from symmetrical…..but yet another one lines through seamlessly.

Thanks to the clever engineering of some carefully cantilevered steel, this one features an open external corner which really lends itself to the panoramic view of the countryside that surrounds this stunning property.

Some sliding shaker doors made to measure in our workshop and installed at a customers house.

Manufactured from moisture resistant MDF and assembled using a traditional method of inset panel, slotted rails and loose tenons.

Being able to manufacture at our premises and reduce installation time on the day means minimum disruption for our clients.

As well as large scale structural alterations, refurbishments, renovations, extensions and new builds, were also known for our interiors such as fitted units and furniture, which we quite often do as part of a larger project.

Here’s a sneak peak of some units and a fire surround we done for fantastic customers of our in Comrie.

Sketched out on an ‘auld bit timber as our journeymen used to say, manufactured in our workshop and installed by our guys on site - we love the process of creating something that becomes even just a small part of a new chapter for the properties we work on.

Some of the more ornate timbers that are part of the character of Drumearn House

The mission statement is very clear here……if they can be saved then that’s exactly what we do, if they can’t then they are replicated to the millimetre courtesy of our trusted and extremely talented bench joiner Alan of bespoke stairs LTD.

Sure you’ll agree the work is absolute 🔥

As many will already know we were appointed main contractors for the first phase of the refurbishment of Comrie Perthshire’s historic Drumearn House at the turn of the year with works starting a little over eight weeks ago and things are progressing magnificently.

This part of the project has a bit of everything for us to contend with……from structural timber repairs and splices, to the refurbishment and replication of some of the most beautiful ornate timbers we’ve seen in a long time……not to mention a wide and varied array of masonry repairs and improvements by the team at Dunkeld builders.

We had our trusted roofing sub-contractor George Ferguson roofing in first thing to carefully remove and set aside for dressing and sizing the original slates for re-use, and we’ve already got the team at McDonald & Buist Plumbing & Heating in doing some beautiful and intricate work in preparation for the first section to be re-slated……all the while Graham Grant Decorating have been prepping and priming timber and cast-iron fitments keeping suitably ahead of the game.

It’s an honour and privilege to have been asked to be involved in this historic project in our home village, and full credit to the owners who’s ethos is to use local businesses and individuals wherever possible, not to mention taking on the task of bringing this historic property back to life.

We’ve a long way to go, but progress so far has been incredible as the whole team have been absolutely smashing it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!! 🥳 🎂

Bacon and Crerar turn five years old today (well yesterday technically)

As we look back over five years of of some of the most fantastic projects local architects and clients had to offer, we consider ourselves very lucky to have been trusted with so many people’s journey.

In 2021 after years of being self employed sole traders and off the back of a global pandemic (yea, sounds mental when you put it like that) we decided to roll the dice and set up a limited company and throw caution to the wind…….

its been far from plain sailing or easy, the lessons you learn going from being a sole trader doing an annual tax return to being a limited, vat registered company that employs people would be enough to, at times, make you question why you gave up that cushy life fitting the odd kitchen and hanging a few doors in the first place…………….corporation tax, vat returns, CIS returns, domestic vat reversals, paye and pension contributions and a whole host of other things that, having left school at sixteen to hammer nails into wood, was uncharted territory for us.

All the while still striving to deliver quality construction services to our clients.

We hope we have done that over the years and we will continue to make it our sole objective as a company.

We’ve attached just some photos of the massive variation of projects we’ve done in that time and as we look back at the photos in the cold light of day, it feels like we’ve definitely done something right! Along side our dedicated team of local sub-contractors we think the results have been immense.

Finally, we want to say a huge thank you to all of our customers, past and present.
Many of whom we consider friends, for trusting us with your work. Whether it was the grandest of house builds or a small bespoke piece, its all meant the world to us.

So here’s to the next five years, the ground we’ve yet to break, and the clients we’ve yet to meet.

As another year nears its end, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers both old and new, our followers, suppliers and sub-contractors for their efforts in everything we have achieved together this year.

We are extremely grateful for the team we have in place alongside our customers and their projects that we end up working with.

No two projects are the same and each one will inevitably have its challenges but the ability to adapt and overcome as well as a unified desire to make each one the best it can possibly be, is the only recipe for success in this gig - a team game with everyone pulling in the same direction.

As we go into 2026, well, we’re gona do it all again. With some fantastic ongoing projects coming to an end and some rather exiting new ones kicking off.

But before that we will switch off and enjoy this fantastic time of year with our loved ones.

So until then, we would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 and a happy and healthy new year when it comes.
