The customer wanted a sturdy privacy screen using existing posts and new treated battens. This is just one end of the screen and is set on a slight slope up to the left of the photo.
The roof on this gazebo had completely rotted away, but the structure still has a few years life in it, so we replaced the roof with pressure treated feather-boards. The wisteria clambering over the top was fully retained.
This simple half round post and rail fence was installed in the Shiplake area at short notice just in time for planting a beech hedge, ready for spring. The fence is fully treated. It just needs to weather a little.
This ramp at a Henley school was replaced at short notice to meet school health and safety standards, the original one having completely deteriorated. Built to last, with anti-slip treads, we hear that the kids are already running riot over it.
Why let a good space to go waste? Ok, I admit, this was a tricky one! Nothing around it was straight. But worth the effort don't you think?
I love the transformation a few coats of paint can have on a space, especially if it has been recently plastered. It's very rewarding. For bigger jobs I am able to bring in additional resources.
This was a fun project, fitting out an off-grid campervan from scratch with solar panels and a whopping 280ah LifPo4 battery, a diesel heater, fridge, a bespoke wine rack, a sink, thermal blinds and a table that converts to a king sized bed.
The wooden cap on this wall in a Henley school had rotted away and so was quickly replaced during adverse winter conditions. We will be back for some concrete work when the weather improves.
The original oak gate post had completely rotted at the base. We added a new one, hung the gate and fitted a new electric gate control, with remote controls. We have installed numerous gate posts over the years.
The post on this monkey bar had rotten at the bottom. A cubic foot of concrete needed to be removed using our Jack Hammer and then replaced and set before the children returned.
The rails on the top of this cabin balustrade had rotted away, so we replaced them with matching rails and painted to match the existing wood.
The felt on this roof was consistently blowing off in high winds, so we replaced it using felt that the client already had, but added additional wooden struts to help keep the felt on in bad weather. A cheap fix, but expected to last longer than the rest of the shed.
