Over 30 Years Crafting and Preserving Heritage Buildings
“Growing up on a working farm in the Calder Valley, I developed a deep connection with the land and traditional craftsmanship. Over three decades, I’ve honed my skills studying sculpture, stone masonry, and heritage property maintenance. I take pride in using time-honoured techniques to restore and protect historic structures across the Northwest, the Isle of Man, Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, ensuring they endure for future generations.”
My main philosophies are:
To respect heritage property and craftsmanship
Provide attention to detail that is second to none
Provide quality that lasts
What I am Known For
I use the correct lime mortar specification, application and technique personalised to each project
I am known for my traditional approach to repointing and lime mortar finishing techniques
What sets me apart isn’t just my process—it’s the intention behind it. I take time to understand traditional practices, I explore, and create with purpose at every turn
Who I work with
I work with other professionals homeowners, heritage properties, churches farms and small estates
