What we're working with
About a barn & rural conversions
Barn and rural conversions combine original solid walls, which often need breathable lime, with new-build sections that are boarded and skimmed conventionally.
New floors frequently need screeding, especially where underfloor heating is going in.

Frequently asked questions
Do the old walls need special materials?
Usually yes — original solid walls need breathable lime, while new-build sections are boarded and skimmed conventionally.
Can you screed for underfloor heating?
Yes — we lay screed over underfloor heating to encase the pipes and give a flat, solid floor.
