Dales barn conversions built to last
We restore historic stone buildings across the Yorkshire Dales. Our team manages complete structural renovations, bringing traditional structures up to modern standards.
OUR METHOD
From groundworks to final fit
Insulation
Light & openings
Modern interior standards
We begin with deep site excavation, damp proofing, and insulation to secure the foundation. Where an older building needs it, we underpin to strengthen what's aready there. Then we lay the base for under-floor heating, ready to connect to a heat pump or existing boiler.
We take the interior walls back to bare stone, then render and tank them to keep the rain out. Walls can be re-modelled to open the space up, or put back as they were.
We re-roof with treated structural timbers built to last, set under modern breathable membranes that keep the water out while letting the roof breathe. Done properly, it'll stand for the next generation.
Groundworks & underpinning
Traditional stone masonry
Roofing & timbers
We insulate throughout to modern standards, using materials that suit old buildings — warm and weather-tight, without trapping damp in walls that need to breathe.
We bring light into traditional buildings with skylights, windows, and doors — opening the space up without losing the character of the original.
We finish with complete heating, plumbing, and electrics, bringing the building up to full modern living standards — a home built for the next century.
Restored Dales heritage
We take pride in bringing historic agricultural buildings back to life.
CASE STUDY ONE
A Dales Barn, converted
The renovation and conversion of a traditional Dales field barn into a house — from derelict building to a home built to last.
CASE STUDY TWO
The Reclaimed Fireplace
An old stone fireplace where only the original lintel could be saved. We rebuilt it in reclaimed stone, hand-chiselling two new jambs and a new lintel to form the opening again
