Kitchen Install

We replaced an old set of kitchen units and worktops with new units supplied by Wren kitchens. It was the first time that we'd used their kitchens but was impressed with the quality and nothing was missing. The client is going to be replacing the wall tiles and floor vinyl.

Fencing

Here the clients wanted to replace an old privet hedge which had become overgrown with a closeboarded fence. The old hedge was removed and taken to a recycling facility for composting. The new 4” posts were installed into concrete filled holes. The gravel board and rails were then fitted to the posts and then the featheredge boarding was nailed to the rails. Finally the boarding was topped off with some capping. The clients are extremely pleased with the result and both sides have gained additional space.

Soakaway

The client wanted a solution to the flooding in his garden during periods of heavy rainfall. We installed a new soakaway using 2 Aquacell crates with a new gully where the flooding was at its worse. Damage to the garden was keep at a minimum and the client is extremely pleased with the result.

Garden Shed

As you can see from the photos above the clients shed was clearly in need of replacement. A new retaining wall was built to hold back loose soil which had rotted the existing shed and a level shed base installed. A new shed was then supplied and fitted. As the new shed was slightly smaller than the old one we installed a decking step at the front to make access easier.

Garden Terracing


Here the client had used a piling company to install 4m metal piles into the ground and then attached sleepers to them to create a terracing. We then backfilled with 8 tonnes of quality topsoil and we are currently waiting for the ground to settle before returning to install the rockery stone.

Pizza Oven


This is an ongoing project with my brother in law to build a pizza oven. Last year we built a concrete base approx 2m square. He has since built the block work walls. We then cast a reinforced concrete slab on top for the precast oven to sit on. The oven was supplied as a kit and he is currently covering the oven with reclaimed bricks. 1st cooking took place on Sunday 19/06/2011.

River edging

Here we are installing a oak and rope edging to a concrete river jetty area. The posts are 3” x 3” green oak and they are linked at the base with 3” x 1” green oak to aid stability.
