Testimonial

“Joe and his team of skilled craftsmen have been pivotal in restoring our Grade II listed cottage and barn for the last 7 years or so, and we’ve been very glad to have him on board for the journey. His attention to detail, and careful consideration of the often unique design challenges posed by historic buildings has been exemplary, as has his overall approach to programming, maintaining good communications (often remotely), interpreting and adapting architects designs, and most importantly, making his own decisions to achieve the best possible solutions to a given issue. He has an in-depth knowledge of traditional and contemporary building techniques and is always willing to try something new. Our garden room extension included a range of experimental and bespoke treatments all of which Joe developed from concept to implementation perfectly. We fully recommend Joe and his team to any prospective home creators and will certainly be employing his talents in the future.”
