Repair of brickwork

The Vinery Conservatory

This Victorian Vinery had sliding sash windows to the roof and top hung opening lights to the front. All the windows had pockets of decay or were beyond repair. Most of them were screwed shut or seized shut. The main rafters were sound but for a few pockets of rot.

Our task was to repair or replace like for like to half of the conservatory. Leaving the windows in working order.
As can be seen by the photograph this was achieved.

Farley Mount Obelisk

The obelisk was originally built by the landowner of the time to commemorate his racing horse. There is a cast iron plaque fixed to the monument detailing this. The works involved removing all of the cement render which was breaking away from the brickwork construction. The outside skin of brickwork was removed due to its condition and rebuilt using a more appropriate brick.

The Obelisk was then re-rendered using a special lime mortar imported from the continent.

Chimney Stack

This chimney stack was in danger of collapsing. The lead trays and flashings were decayed, allowing water ingress into the dormer rooms. The chimney stack was dismantled, all good bricks were saved. It was rebuilt incorporating new lead trays soakers and flashings. The new bricks used were imperial sized, matching in colour and texture.  

Underwood Cottage

We built an extension to the historic cottage to blend in with its character. The extension was timber framed and thatched. It also included a new fireplace and chimney. Below: Shows the air dried oak timber frame.

Flint wall

This wall was built to match the excisting wall to block up a previous entry point. Built using traditional flint and lime mortar.
