operate largely in the midlands but work anywhere in Ireland
Construction Services
We can
provide special skills in lime mortar rendering and other conservation
restoration work in one or more areas of your project, or can handle the construction management of the complete restoration project. We're experienced in identifying the hidden features
and fabric of your building for conservation.
Special coordination with your architect
or advice on historically authentic or complementary design and planning.
For the residential owner, a special skill in
blending your modern comforts while highlighting the historical features of
your home. Most builders turn old houses into new houses,
we have the expertise and 25 years experience to keep your charming old
house looking like a renovated old house not a new one. Don't turn your
unique building into a bungalow, hire those who understand old buildings.
Traditional Skills
Lime Mortars,
lime plaster renderings, conservation and reproduction of doors
and windows, window mouldings, slate roofing, lead work, cast iron
gutters and other period features. Experienced in the use of
Hemp
as an insulation
and construction material to maintain the
breathability of your old stone walls, which counteracts damp and condensation. Why use Lime ?

Green and environmentally friendly construction
techniques and recycling methods can be applied at clients request.
With some experience in ecological technology we
were the builders the first
Hemp House in Ireland
and have since built several more.
Don't Dry Line, Hemp Lime, for a healthier house,
dry lining merely hides your problems, in 5 years you get to smell them. Surveys
show dry lined buildings over 10 yeas old in 35% of cases have toxic moulds
growing. These moulds have shown to have sever effects on our health.
Facing compensation actions over toxic mould.
