Concrete going in on site with the pump set up and ready to keep things moving.

A good step forward as the structure starts to take shape, with access, sequencing and site coordination all playing their part.

Progress like this is always satisfying to see.

Concept for an eco home set within the woodland landscape near Dorking. Designed to sit quietly within its surroundings, the building uses natural materials and a simple form to minimise its impact on the site.

The proposed build incorporates a sedum roof to enhance biodiversity, FSC-certified timber cladding, an air source heat pump for low-carbon heating, and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system to maintain efficient air circulation and indoor comfort.

Oak splice repair going into a historic timber frame.

A new section has been carefully shaped and introduced to tie the brace back into the wall plate, secured with a forged steel bracket.

Building taken back to its core to allow the internal refurbishment to commence.

The timber frame is now fully exposed, giving a clear view of the primary structure before we begin repairs and reinstatement.

Next stage is structural repairs to the oak frame, improving breathability and preparing the space for its new layout, while retaining original features and components.

This is what happens when old buildings are patched with modern materials without thinking about how they were meant to work.

Hidden behind layers of cement that should never have been there in the first place.

The timber has been slowly rotting away with nowhere for moisture to escape.

This is what happens when old buildings are patched with modern materials without thinking about how they were meant to work.

Strip it back. Let it breathe. Reinstate using materials appropriate for the age of the building.
