This week Sam Fordham our ops director was out at one of our trusted suppliers performing some benchmark tests for an upcoming project in London, where we will be using some very large and very heavy limestone paving on a new terrace over multiple levels.

When coring large holes and cutting hundreds of notches, it’s paramount that you have a safe and effective method to do this in.

The decisions need to be made whether they are cut offsite or on site. What specialist lifting equipment will be necessary.

We ensure that wherever possible we are ahead of the requirement. Beats getting to site and spending days on end figuring out what the hell your going to do and no benchmarks agreed with the client.

When working on Tier 1 sites, expectations rise and so does the requirement to be well prepared. Programmes are tight, penalties high.

Don’t leave bespoke specialist works to chance. Get ahead and do it safely.

❤️ WHAT A BEAUTY! 🥰

The finished shots are in! And what a shoot it was! The new Egyptian limestone patio, hand cut and bullnosed copings to match for the seamless finish. The new brickwork to steps and retainers laid with class and respect for the traditional property.

A new pétanque pitch as a special request for the owner was a first but definately won’t be the last. All built to tournament specifications to allow for inclusion in the league they partake in.

This project was craftsmanship from the start. Roman end cut and bullnosed onsite, hidden pool access covers, clever drainage solutions. A real beauty of a scheme!

Kentish-Ragstone boundary walling — a slice of what’s still to come 🏗️

Hand-built, stone by stone. No shortcuts, no rendered blockwork pretending to be something it’s not — this is proper craftsmanship, the way boundary walls have been built for generations, married with the precision our clients expect on every Home & Garden project.

Right now it’s raw materials and hard graft. But this space is about to transform: porcelain paving, a resin-bound driveway, and feature lighting are all still to land — bringing the traditional stonework together with a sharp, modern finish.

Quality takes time. This is what it looks like in progress. 👷‍♂️🪨

From Barren to Beautiful! 😍

This project started as an outline design from the customer, developed and envisioned by us through 3D design to ensure buildability and usability in reality.

A mixture of materials on this one creating texture and interest

👌🏽 brickwork - facing for steps and planters
👌🏽timber - bespoke archway from clients vision
👌🏽Indian sandstone - paving to the lower area and winding pathway
👌🏽porcelain - modernising the steps and upper level terrace
👌🏽Turf - a real lawn was a must for the pooch 🐶

Now we work on the design and costing for the summerhouse to replace the tired modular garage to the rear.
