Raising the Roof at St Mawgan in Pydar Church ⛪

We’re always proud to play a part in preserving Cornwall’s rich architectural heritage — and our recent project at St Mawgan in Pydar Church was no exception.

Working alongside our highly skilled subcontractors, we carried out a partial re-roofing project on this beautiful historic building. The works were scheduled early in the year to respect the annual life cycle of the church’s resident bats 🦇 — ensuring the project supported both the building’s future and the local wildlife that calls it home.

🌧 Almost daily rain from early January through to late February and beyond has brought the kind of challenges only a Cornish winter can deliver. But thanks to careful coordination, dedication on site, and true teamwork, we’re delighted with the result.

Despite the weather, the outcome has been top notch 🌟 — protecting this much-loved landmark for years to come.

“Buildings are storytellers. They teach us about our history, good and bad. They tell stories about people.” - by George Clark

At Gloweth Builders, we believe every structure carries a voice of its own. They reflect the lives, values, and moments that shaped them. From proud achievements to lessons learned, each space holds a story worth preserving and building upon for future generations.

🏗️ The Benefits of Two-Stage Tendering in Construction

More estimating teams are adopting two-stage tendering to enhance collaboration, manage risk, and protect margins.

🔗 Early Engagement – Involve suppliers sooner to clarify logistics, refine programmes, and explore innovative build methods.

💰 Pricing Confidence – Stage two helps secure the best value and protect budgets from market volatility.

⚠️ Risk Reduction – Early risk identification prevents costly surprises later in the project.

🚧 Key Considerations – This approach can be resource-intensive, with changing prices and the need to balance collaboration and competition.

Two-stage tendering is fast becoming the preferred route for teams seeking greater transparency, flexibility, and stronger project outcomes.

“You cannot separate the buildings out from the infrastructure of cities and the mobility of transit.” - Norman Foster

At Gloweth Builders, we believe great construction is about more than just bricks and mortar. Every project is part of a bigger picture — shaping how people live, move, and connect within their communities. Thoughtful building helps create places that work better for everyone, today and for the future. 🏗️🌍

💪 Celebrating Women in Construction Week! 🏗️ - 1 to 7 March

This week, we’re proud to join the industry in celebrating Women in Construction (WIC) Week — a time to recognise the incredible contributions women make to the built environment every day.

We believe that a stronger, more innovative construction industry is one that champions diversity and inclusion. From project management and engineering to design, site operations, and beyond, women are shaping the future of construction with their skill, creativity, and leadership.

Gloweth is proud to work alongside all the women building, leading, and inspiring the construction industry. 💛

🔃 Reversible Improvements: Modern Comfort, Timeless Character

At Gloweth Builders, we believe progress shouldn’t come at the expense of heritage. One of the most important trends in sensitive construction and restoration is reversible improvement—modern upgrades designed to be removed or adapted in the future without damaging the original structure.

From discreet insulation solutions to non-invasive installations, these changes respect a building’s history while meeting today’s standards of comfort and performance. The result? Spaces that evolve with modern needs while preserving the craftsmanship and character that make them special.

Because the best building work doesn’t overwrite the past—it protects it. ✨
