Our carpentry services
For years, we have travelled up and down the country repairing and rebuilding a wide range of kiln roofs including both square and round traditional wooden roofs. We are able to help with any stage of roof building or maintenance. This includes pitching brand new roofs, including oak or timber frame roofs, and installing or repairing wooden fascias and soffits. Our past roofing projects have included both national heritage buildings and new builds – and everything in between.
Carpentry work for oast houses
If you are after carpentry and joinery work for an oast house, we can ensure that your kiln roof is weatherproof and able to stand whatever mother nature throws at it. As you would probably expect, our team are experts in constructing, repairing, and cleaning all types of wooden oast cowls too. To keep wooden cowls in tip-top condition they should be refurbished every five or six years, potentially a little longer if we did the original installation. To do this properly we remove the cowl from the oast house. This allows us to get a proper look at the cowl and to dry it out fully – it also gives us the added benefit of being able to work all year long whatever the weather! For a more detailed description of what happens during an oast cowl refurbishment have a look at our previous post ‘How to repair oast cowls by hand‘ and learn more about our tried and tested skills.
