Restoring a Grade II* listed building requires a huge amount of effort from all involved. Acting as the project manager, Cook & Cook were fortunate enough to take a lead role in the renovation and extension of this private residence. The project required extensive repairs to the timber frame, large parts of it dating back to the early 17th century. Traditional methods have been combined with modern products to navigate issues such as roosting bats in the roof.

Great to return to Conington to see one of our completed projects. This beautiful house was built during the pandemic - a challenging build during a challenging time. We're very proud of this one, so much so that we've recently submitted it for an award.

We worked throughout the lockdown with Cambcol to assist with the essential conversion of a dilapidated building into a factory that produces hand sanitiser on an industrial scale. We feel very proud that Princess Anne visited yesterday to review all the hard work the team has done during these difficult times. Pictures of the project to come soon!

The Princess Royal visited CambCol in Ely to learn more about their latest developments.

Our project in a village south of Huntingdon has started on site and we have discovered Roman remains. The archaeologists have been hard at work with many interesting finds; the most important being a coin with an image of the emperor Hadrian on dated at 1900 years old. We have also found pottery, animal bones and metalwork all in this era. The aim is to complete the archaeological dig this week, then we can progress with the main works constructing the new two storey dwelling.

The interior space is largely open plan with a stunning floating oak and glass staircase to the main atrium. The building will have triple glazing and sustainable heating will be provided through an air source heat pump.

After 4 years of hard work our client has finally opened his wonderfully unique dining experience in Fen Drayton. We were instrumental in gaining planning permission for the project and then provided building surveying services from technical drawings to alcohol licenses. The project has been featured on the front page of the local paper and bookings can be made here: www.carriagestearooms.co.uk.

We have completed our design and build contract for 3 large executive houses in Little Eversden. These high quality properties feature traditional designs with clay tiles, stone sills, sliding sash windows and powder coated aluminium rainwater goods. Contemporary interiors provide a contrast using modern handless kitchens with corian worktops, wide oak plank floors, flush oak doors and luxury porcelanosa bathroom suites. The development offers a showcase of the unique turn key package that our team provides.
