A bespoke outdoor pizza oven built to last. 🍕🔥

A great addition to this outdoor entertaining area.

Built using natural stone to match the surrounding walls and patio, with a traditional domed oven, chunky stone arch and oak beam detail. It’s the perfect feature for making homemade pizzas, baking bread or cooking over a wood fire all year round.

Really pleased with how this one turned out. We can’t wait to see it fired up and put to good use.

It’s always a good day when the scaffolding comes down! 👌

This new build is really starting to show its true character now that everything is exposed. The natural stonework, clean lines and modern design have all come together brilliantly, and we’re really pleased with how it’s looking.

There’s still plenty to do, with the landscaping and finishing touches to come, but it’s easy to see how impressive this property is going to be once it’s complete.

We can’t wait to see the finished project!

Entrance walls complete ready for electric gates👌

From the ground up on this one:

✅ Dug and poured new footings
✅ Built the entrance pillars and walls in blockwork
✅ Chased in electrics ready for automated gates
✅ Finished with premium black quartz stone cladding
✅ Topped everything off with granite coping stones for a clean, modern finish

The contrast between the black quartz and the granite really makes this entrance stand out, and it’s now ready for the electric gates to be installed.

Knocked off for the bank holiday weekend after popping in this morning to brush off yesterday’s stone work on the gables. We have to finish off the cut ups on the gables and fit the cils etc. then a break whilst the roof is completed, ready to drop back on and finish the rest of the extension, the chimney plus other bits.

Roof is being cut on, huge amount of steel and a massive amount of timber!

But starting to take shape and looking sharp now…..

🧱 Stockwell Lane – Cheltenham

Progress coming along nicely on our current project on Stockwell Lane. This is the second house we’ve been involved with on this road, which is always great to return to.

This is a very technical build, involving over 200m² of natural stone, with stone surrounds both internally and externally. The project also includes significant structural steelwork, including a large cantilever steel with 20+ pad stones, alongside a split-level design that brings multiple working heights and some very restricted access.

Projects like this definitely bring their challenges, but they’re the ones we enjoy the most. Looking forward to seeing this house come together — it will look stunning when complete.

Despite the challenges of the weather, certainly the wettest I can remember, we are progressing steadily.

Slight delay on the surrounds but plenty to do with fitting steels etc.

This build is tricky, lots to think about but nothing we can’t handle, it’s all coming together now and with the days getting longer, hopefully the rain eases…. Probably not!
