Master Craftsmen

SPECIALISTS IN TRADITIONAL LIME MORTARS AND RENDERS

We carry out lime work in various areas of construction such as stonework, plastering and bricklaying. We use a mixture of modern lime products such as Hydraulic and Hydrated lime mortars, alongside traditional lime putty, hemp limes, haired and synthetic haired limes and hot lime. We also work with normal Portland cement mortar mixtures on relevant projects.

SYMPATHETIC BUILDING RESTORATION ALONGSIDE NEW CONSTRUCTION

We take on both old and new build projects. Our knowledge of materials and products gives us a vast and adaptable pallet to draw from when designing or consulting.
Where possible, we use reclaimed bricks, wood and stone for restoration work but also use modern products and materials to aid longevity.

FULLY QUALIFIED EXPERTS IN ROOF RESTORATION AND CONSULTATION

We are highly qualified master roofers and have extensive experience working on new build, restoration and listed building projects.
We also offer a consultation service for a wide range of roofing issues.

OUR ETHOS

At Church, Castle and Cottage we take great pride and care in our work.
Our main aim is to carry out work that lends itself sympathetically to the building or structure.

Affordability and a respect for the environment are big factors in our projects. This is where traditional materials like hemp lime, lead, slate and oak excel, which not only look beautiful and blend with existing building features, but also cost less than new materials and have far less environmental impact due to their incredibly long life and reclaimable qualities.

We also work with modern products which improve our long-term environmental impact, such as insulations and recycled materials.

PROJECTS OF ALL SIZES

We take on all kinds of building and roofing in the Chester, Cheshire and north west area, some very small and lasting only a few hours, up to large scale jobs taking 6 months.
