The original slate roof was removed and timbers were exposed with damaged rafters repaired or replaced with reclaimed timbers. The roof was re-slated using slates salvaged from the original roof and new metal roof windows were added.
Substantial brick and flint restoration was undertaken by our experienced team. The Carriage House was fully insulated and heating, plumbing and electrical systems were installed.
Architectural features were saved including some handmade wooden shutters. Old boarding was used to cover walls, an old piece of oak was repurposed as a bannister and exposed internal brickwork was repointed and left as a feature.

This traditional Listed Country Hall based on a working farm in Suffolk required a complete refurbishment after being left unoccupied for many years.
The property was stripped back, taking care to save as many period features as possible. Restorations were sympathetic, saving and restoring the original fabric of the property. The roof was carefully repaired using traditional leadwork methods. The chimneys were refurbished using original salvaged bricks and repointed using lime mortar.
Those wooden windows that could be saved were painstakingly refurbished and those that couldn’t had new like-for-like replacements handcrafted by our in-house joinery company Church and Gooderham.
Our team of employed craftsman were able to utilise their wide range of traditional and more modern skills to transform this dilapidated property into a stunning home.

Revive & Restore Ltd were appointed to complete timber frame and sole plate repairs on this property dating back to the 16th century. This involved removing cement render and plastic guttering.
The property required Listed Building Consent which we obtained on the owners’ behalf. The sole plate and timber frame repairs were sympathetically undertaken with the cement render removed and the original bricks reused to infill between the timbers. Several handmade windows in Douglas Fir were made and fitted by Church and Gooderham (another division of the business), reusing the original metal window lights. Lead glass panels were refurbished where needed and reinstalled. Externally Savolit boards were used before lime rendering the property and finishing off with a lime wash. The plastic gutters and downpipes were replaced with beautiful cast iron replicas to suit the building’s period.

The veranda and stonework of this distinctive property required refurbishment and in parts replacing. The metal canopy of the veranda, decking, lattice trellis work and parts of the metal structure was removed and refurbished. Where original parts were past saving, new replacements in the original materials were crafted including a new hardwood decking and zinc roof. The replacement stones at the front of the house were made locally and cast iron guttering was fitted.

This traditional Suffolk farmhouse was purchased as a restoration project. Typically, like many properties of this age, it has had many additions. The original building was built in 1640, but has two later Victorian extensions. The house has been ‘modernised’ over the years losing a lot of its character, charm and original features.
The objective of this project was to restore this building to its former glory, whilst making it a comfortable home for a modern family. The client wanted to preserve the authenticity of the different parts of the house and the period in which they were built.
