Upton Noble, Bruton, Somerset

This property comprised a period cottage with 70s extension. We pecked out the existing pointing on the cottage and replaced with NHL lime mixed to a pale yellow colour that suited the stone. Internally lime putty was used on the walls with modern plaster on the ceilings. Next, the old extension was demolished and a modern replacement built which needed plastering inside and out. Externally the join between old and new needed to be seamless and we achieved this with a mixture of white cement and yellow sand.
