Restoring a piece of Aberdare history at The Beeches Care Home! 🏡✨We have just wrapped up a very special restoration project for the Caron Group right here in Aberdare!The historic 18th-century Pennant sandstone wall at The Beeches was heavily overgrown with deep roots, causing the stone to shift and bulge. Our team completely de-rooted the area and carefully rebuilt the wall using reclaimed pennant sand stone.Protecting local heritage is important, but protecting the peace and safety of the residents was our top priority. We loved chatting with some of the residents & staff through the windows as we worked to make their outdoor space safe again!Massive thanks to the Caron Group for trusting us with this local landmark.

We look forward to building a strong, multi-faceted partnership with you, providing structural maintenance across your sites in south wales for years to come.

(FOSSIL ALERT LAST PIC)
It’s Not everyday you get to work on the grounds of a lighthouse but we did this week. The wall itself we rebuilt is part of a 250m boundary wall that fortifies the lighthouse itself, with the wall being 200 years old it was a nice omen albeit small to the trowels of yesteryear. This wall comprises of the original reclaimed blue lias limestone excavated from the cliff side behind us many moons ago.
While working the stone, we actually uncovered a much older piece of history hidden right in the middle of a limestone block! I chiseled out what rockhounds call a "deer heart" fossil—which is what they call a bivalve steinkern. It's a perfect internal mud cast of an ancient clam that lived millions of years before this wall was ever built. Just a pretty bonus find on an already amazing job site! ⛏️🌊🐚

Out with the old and in with the new! 🧱

Huge improvement on this gable end above the NatWest bank today. The old stonework was crumbling and full of roots, so we ripped it out and fitted these stunning new architectural cornice stones supplied and fitted. Perfectly pointed and ready to face the elements for decades to come. Great job by the team!

🌿 Building in Harmony with Nature 🧱
Great meeting on-site today at Bryncae Farm in the heart of the beautiful Brecon Beacons! We had the pleasure of catching up with Dee, a Consultant Ecologist from Acer Ecology, to collaborate on one of our current projects.
As the principal contractor, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the structure itself. It is vital to build in harmony with the natural environment by:
• Using traditional methods that respect the local heritage.
• Implementing safeguarding practices to protect the surrounding ecosystem.
• Ensuring every project is sustainable and environmentally conscious.
Whether it’s restoration, conservation, or specialized building work, we bring craftsmanship and care to every site.
