Heritage and Restoration


Wales is a land steeped in history, and with it comes the forgotten dwellings of those who lived here hundreds of years before. Unfortunately, while many of these buildings have stood upright against the test of time, they can be missing the attention they need to care for today's residents. We can peer back in time to see their lost beauty and restore their former glory, to be settled yet again. 

  • Maentwrog Rectory

    This old rectory, settled in Maentwrog, dates back to the 19th century along with Plas Tan-Y-Bwlch, both being constructed by the Oakley family. Originally, these buildings were built using rustic shael from Gelli Green quarry; however, with its disuse , this stone is now lost. This provided our masons with a challenge when its walls required repair. To acquire materials to resemble the stone from the original building. To replicate this unique stone, we asked a local quarry to keep any matching stone, with some measuring up to 14 feet. After six months of searching through the stone, our masons had enough material to immerse into the rest of the building, restoring its former appearance.


  • Coed y Ffynnon

    Dendrochronology shows that Coed y Ffynnon was built in the 1530s, almost half a milennia ago. It is also said that the poet Huw Machno lived there in 1637. However, with age comes wear, and our masons were called to play a part in its extensive renovation. We used lime to paint the exteriour of the house, biding by the resources avaliable at the time it was built. Lime also acts as an excellent humidifier when painted onto solid walled buildings. With this, Coed y Ffynnon's walls are tightly protected against the elements, 

  • Cwm Farm

    We’ve been involved in the ongoing restoration of Cwm Farm, a Grade II listed historic building believed to have been built in the 16th Century. Working with historic buildings as these, we’ve made sure to preserve the traditional methods of restoration to maintain the building’s roots. In the re-pointing process, we’ve used hot lime, as was used in the original build. This will also increase its durability and allow the fabric of the building to breathe.

  • Y Storws on Ynys Enlli

    The Storws is the first building you see as you visit Bardsey island. Before we begun our work, It was in a state of disrepair and in danger of collapsing. We restored it alongside Original Roofing Company. We sympathetically rebuilt these damaged areas, rebuilding and underpinning these areas. We also repointed the building, whilst keeping the lime roses intact. It can now be used as an increment weather shelter for visitors, as well as a storehouse.
