Barn restoration

Earlier this week we were in Sussex for handover of this barn restoration. The final picture shows the barn before the project began. The barn was in danger of collapse but was straightened and strengthened. As well as the structural works, the scope included replacing the roof and cladding, installing new insulation, new windows, new underfloor heating fed from heat pumps and new electrical services. The contractor used traditional skills in the restoration of this oak framed barn with some amazing small details like handmade cleats for the cladding fixing. Overall a great project to be involved in and watch the transformation!
