October 2024 - Door Refurbishment in Winfrith

Our client in Winfrith Newburgh found us with a Google search a year ago when they asked us to build them a log cabin.


Since then we have been back to refurbish the back door, build a new hand made double gate, and now - lovingly restore an outhouse/workshop door. They had been meaning to do the work themselves, but as we know too well - life gets in the way and time slips by.

How to Upcycle A Van

It's our 6th birthday, so we treated ourself to a new-to-us van. Follow our progress as we upcycle it!

The 'new-to-us' van needed a bit of TLC as well as fitting it with racking for our materials and tools, so Mark and Jason spent some time giving it some love. It needed some oil, grease and generally a good upcycling (which we are pro's at!) and created the racking ourselves.

It now is the newest team member and it certainly looks the part now it has it's new signage too!
