CULVERCROFT DIARY

Building Culvercroft II (click on pickies below for more info)

THANK YOUS

Firstly, the old man for the DNA, inspiration, advice and digger.

Secondly, the boss (Tracy) for the ‘why’ and all the support that wives normally give husbands obsessed with a project they think is for their wife.

All our wonderful neighbours for all their support, muscles, tools, patience, dog sitting, grapes and alcohol.

And then…

David Branchett and his team at Tamar Trading. Great prices on building materials etc. and great support.

Stu Baillie at Little Silverwood – supplied the Sweet Chestnut for our cladding and kitchen worktops. Fantastic timber and expert advice.

Greg Wilkes at Sentinel for checking Andy’s roofing is 100% waterproof and keeping the anal bureaucrats happy with certification etc.

Thanks to Andy Taylor and the team at Hi-Tech Flat Roofing Ltd. for going the extra mile to get our roofs not only watertight but looking fantastic too. That and very competitive pricing!

Andy and his team at South West Fixings. Constantly beating others for price and always exceptional customer service.

Mike Hardy. A very handy man! Knowledgeable about nearly everything DIY related and a trained Surveyor and excellent mechanic. Solution focussed problem solver – but not before 8 in the morning.

Nick Brooks and his team at Brewers. Thanks to their invaluable knowledge and advice we have managed to get our decorating done properly.

Below Ground Solutions – Lee Woods (mission control) and Luke on the ground for us. Another team recommended to us and you can see why. Excellent service, fantastic support and superior knowledge of sewage treatment plant and installation. No doubt they deliver in all the other areas they cover on their website.

MCL Plastering ContractorsMatthew Langdon and his excellent team George, Luke and James. Fixed my numerous plaster boarding cock ups!

The Fell Partnership for the supply of Nudura, their interest in our project, expertise, contacts and invaluable support.

Manderwood for the roof joists and for their extraordinary service. Sometimes things go wrong. That’s when you find out how good a company really is. Without hesitation the problem was fixed immediately despite a bank holiday weekend and other obstacles. Many other companies would not have been bothered. These guys did everything possible to ensure our schedule stayed on track and we got the perfect result we wanted. Well done to Luke and Aaron in particular. Thank you!

Duraform – Sam, Scott, Christian, Matt and co. for Nudura expertise, groundworks, attention to detail, all round building knowledge and enthusiasm.

Paul Sanders and Hugh (from our previous project in Ladye Bay) at Bristol Steel for their patience with our constantly evolving steel orders, great prices, prompt delivery and wonderful service!

Paul McGurk – 21 degrees‘ MVHR Designer – has held our hands throughout the design process fgoing above and beyond to make sure we get the design right – despite numerous iterations he has been nothing but professional, patient and VERY supportive. Everything we need when we haven’t got a clue how to get the best out of high quality MVHR system. Highly recommended!

The BEAM team. In particular Eoghan for his expertise and patience designing the system the best way to meet our needs. We’re looking forward to installing and enjoying the benefits later this year.

Nick Robotham at SWUK – Metfloor system for our first floor slab. Fantastic advice and support throughout the process from design to install. Very knowledgeable and solution focussed. All that and a really simple system to work with (for two complete novices). Couldn’t wish for more.

South West Crane Hire. Recommended by Duraform, delivered by Mark and Jamie. What a great service. Yet again going above(!) and beyond to help us out despite the shitty weather. They both spent whole days not just lifting the Metfloor sheets and mesh in but placing them with us too. Fantastic service!
