EXPOSED BRICK FIREPLACE

This fireplace has been built out of some of our reclaimed Ashburnham type bricks laid in a rat-trap bond. It also includes a reclaimed oak beam running across the top. The cupboards have been made with some of our doors cut down and glazed and our oak boarding inside. The work was carried out by an Eastbourne based Bricklayer, Bob Clarke, 07961 293938.

RECLAIMED PAVING

Here you can see our reclaimed paviours and york flag laid within a period property setting, also our peg tiles cut and set in the york flag to create a central feature. This work was carried out by Guy Pollard Landscape & Garden Design, for more details visit www.whatplantwhere.com

SNOW JANUARY 2010

Thought you might like to see the yard in the snow, very pretty indeed! Measured it this morning at 9" deep but at least we are coping (although we're having to search for stuff under the drifts!). The dogs asolutely love it.

SCARY STUFF!

Just had to put these pictures on here so you could see what our fearless staff go through. They are working on a Cherry Picker at over 30 metres / 108 feet up in the air, the lorry and vans look tiny and you certainly wouldn't catch me going up there!

OAK FLOOR BOARDING

Some of our newly sliced oak floor boarding laid in a kitchen. The owners of this house have created a perfect contrast with the off-white kitchen units. The sheer simplicity of the surrounding furnishings has enhanced the beautiful grain of the timber and by using just a gentle satin varnish they have not detracted from the natural patina.

Multi-stock bricks used around an old stable courtyard with a reclaimed oak beam spanning the gateway. It all melds beautifully with the original structure.

Indian paving with multi-stock brick risers and sandstone edging, giving a warm mellow look.

This is a beautiful victorian combination fireplace which was stripped and repainted by Best Demolition staff. It would originally have been in a bedroom but the owners of this 1940's property decided it was the ideal size for their small front room. The hearth has been made from a large snooker table slate slab cut down to size.

Black Sandstone Indian Paving laid approximately 6 months before this picture was taken. The wall is built from reclaimed red kiln bricks and topped off with paviours as a coping, sleepers have been used to edge the lawn and, of course, an attractive chimney pot in the corner as decoration. Note that by creating a thinner joint, just brushing dirt into the joints and allowing a few bits of moss to grow has given it a much older look.
