Project Developments

 Its been quite a year so far.  Clients are asking for bespoke planters like this one which is on casters so it can be moved around the paved area outside their house. In this case made of larch but can be made of timber to suit your needs.  This is lined with a damp proof membrane to reduce rot

 and of course I am still doing bespoke loggias like this one in spruce.  Quite a little sun trap, with a small roof built into the back for privacy and a wind break.








As well as a number of re-roofing jobs we have been working on replacing facia boards and verges with some clients replacing wet verge with proprietary dry verge systems which set off the house a treat and are maintenance free.

Dry verge and facia

And if that wasn't enough  we are now able to install log burning stoves.

Wishing all my customers a very happy and prosperous New Year

 

Kitchen 'Makeovers'

Ready for family use

Complete kitchen refurb

As well as building extensions that are sympathetic to existing buildings I am also able to refurbish and develop living space to customer specifications.

I have recently completed two kitchen makeovers, each of which required considerable preliminary work in preparation for the final fitting of the kitchen units.  Knowing many of the local tradespeople helps me to co-ordinate all aspects of a job, bringing in other trades such as plumbers and electricians as and when they are needed.  This makes it much easier for the customer.

If you would like a new kitchen installed or would like to discuss a living space 'makeover' give me a call on 07815 091289

I've just noticed that I took the photo before I had done the final clean up at the end of the job.   Ooops ...

Hardwood Porch Part III

So long since my last post - Its been so busy

Hardwood Porch Part II

 

Last week I posted a picture of the finished article, here is how we got there. 

The ground works were completed to full building regs specifications and dwarf walls erected. 

The purpose built hardwood porch was then mounted and fixed in place in readiness for the cut roof.

Happy New Year to all my customers

A simple porch makes a valuable addition to a house

I have made a New Years resolution to Blog more regularly and I thought I would start by wishing everyone a happy New Year. 

Its also the time of year when we can start to look forward to longer days and better building conditions.

Green Oak

Green Oak 'Blades'

 I'm getting better at this Blogging thing and thought I would share with you a couple of pics from the building of the Loggia. 

It is made of Green Oak which is such a heavy wood but is so rewarding to work with.  The Architect sourced this timber which was comparatively free from blemishes. 

We made seemingly countless blades for the construction which were mortised into the timbers and then pegged.

The green oak complements the design of this unique building in a lovely setting

Loggia anyone?

For the last seven years I have had the good fortune to work for Simon James of FE James and Son who are accredited by the Federation of Master Builders . 

Simon has given me the opportunity to take a major role in the execution of many projects including this one, a Loggia made of green oak.  I worked closely with the architect Jonathan Lees on this job to achieve the look and feel that the client wanted

Wil Fletcher Fine Carpentry

With about fifteen years experience under my belt I am taking a step into an exciting future.  Some would say that I should have made the leap earlier but I know that learning from other tradespeople and crafts men has enabled me come to a place where I know I can produce quality and manage complicated projects for my clients.  In this blog I will be sharing interesting and useful tips and showcasing some of the work that I am doing in  and around Builth Wells
