“Steve and his team did a great job on this old Grade II listed cottage. The existing cement render was removed, exposing significant repair work to the underlying cob and the chimney. All the work was done to a very high standard, and I was always kept in the loop as this significant project progressed.

I am very pleased with the result and would highly recommend ‘Chalk, Cob and Lime’. Indeed, I’ve received many comments from neighbours, and walkers passing in the lane, all saying what an excellent job was done.”
