Scheme of works was to build 2 single story extensions to an existing barn conversion. A rafted foundation was needed as the extensions were to be placed over existing drainage pipes that were very deeply laid. Modern Blockwork wall construction was stone faced with stone recovered from site. Roof structure was comprised of structural oak ridge and post and beam large opening to 1 elevation.
The walls in both barns had structural issues. Localised areas were taken down and re-built then all of the walls were raked out between the stones and re-pointed with lime mortar. On the larger barn new oak purlins were fitted to the existing roof trusses, new spars fitted. New slates supplied and fitted.
