Back in October we were invited to the Built Environment campus of West Suffolk College, taking our team, mixing lorry and materials to demonstrate the laying of a limecrete floor. Sarah provided a talk to the students who also assisted with all elements of the work

Two limecrete pads were laid with a recycled foamed glass insulation layer. These pads are to be the bases for mini traditional builds which the students will be involved in over the coming year.

It was a pleasure to teach these students about the benefits of a breathable floor, how limecrete floors work well with historic buildings as well as being suitable for new eco builds.

The Bury St Edmunds Town Trust are leading this project with the college and are passionate that traditional building skills and methodology are taught to students planning to enter the construction industry. This exciting project is leading the way for the future, ensuring that young people entering the construction industry gain a wide level of knowledge and learn about appropriate materials and skills for preservation as well as modern building techniques. It was an honour to be able to give to this project and play a small part in its development.

 

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of working at a beautiful property in the West Midlands!

Honoured to be laying limecrete floors in stunning barns in Buckinghamshire for Edgar Taylor Construction Limited. Just over 300m² of limecrete laid in two barns over 2 days. These stunning barns are owned by The National Trust and are set in the beautiful rolling countryside of the Chiltern Hills. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this amazing restoration project!

 

 

 

Towards the end if January, the team was busy laying a beautiful subfloor for Poole Museum in Dorset. Thanks to the wonderful @dfin85_85callancivils for bringing us in to help with this project.

We recently completed a lovely, local job for @gatehouserestoration in Norfolk. We love what we do! #limecrete #limecretefloor #screed #restoration

In early June this year, the team returned to lay the second phase of a Limecrete floor at a property in Dorset. This month, we were so delighted to hear from the owner with a follow up!

 

Whilst the owner was excavating the floor, they discovered a well. After much deliberation it was decided that it would be made into a feature, which as you can see makes for a stunning floor with a huge amount of WOW!

 

We love to see the final finish of our customers floors, especially one so beautiful. Our customers remain important to us even after we lay their floors and we are always delighted when we hear from them,  especially when we get to see their final vision realised.

 

 

 

The team worked on a beautiful stone property in Oxfordshire at the end of August. The client required that timber treated batons were installed at the time of screeding. These batons were provided and marked by the client and our team placed and screeded around and over them. What a beautiful result.
