External Cladding and Internal Plastering

The external envelope is advancing rapidly with the installation of the metal finishes. Internally, wet trades are moving through the new extension spaces.


Project Details

Tucked away in rural Gloucestershire, this Grade II listed cottage is being lovingly restored and expanded to meet the needs of modern living. The project combines a full renovation of the historic home with both single and double-storey extensions, carefully designed to respect its heritage while introducing fresh light, space, and comfort.

Since the previous site update, the external timber frames of the dormer window boxes have been fully formed and are now receiving their exterior render. Glazing has also been successfully installed.

On the exterior of the new extension, dark standing seam aluminium cladding is currently being fitted over the protective breather membrane. Inside, the main bedroom and adjacent newly formed spaces are being plastered, with base coats and smooth ceiling skims now applied across the apex rooflines. Preparation materials for the underfloor heating system are also staged within the rooms, ready for the next phase of floor build-ups.

With the plastering drying and the glazing in place, the internal layout is now clearly defined, giving the new bedroom a precise sense of scale and volume. Externally, the clean vertical lines of the modern aluminium extension are establishing a clear visual contrast with the original stone building.

The project is now moving steadily forward - stay tuned!
