Here is a list of services we can provide. Feel free to approach us about anything though, we can turn our hands to most things as long as you want to do it sustainably!
Building:
Housing
We can help with all aspects of your build, or just the bits you’d like. All work can be planned and managed by us to meet planning and building regulations.
Garden outbuildings – sheds, offices, extra rooms
Would you like to make better use of the space you have in your garden? We can build you highly insulated and breathable garden buildings. All work can be planned and managed by us to meet planning and building regulations.
House extensions and conversions
A straw bale extension to your existing house is a highly feasible option and you can achieve much, much higher insulation for your money. It may also be possible to ‘bale wrap’ your existing building, to add insulation.
Barns, Factories, Warehouses
Depending on size, these can be built using big bales or standard bales.
Cob ovens
Ideal for the garden! They need a hat or cover of some sort in our climate though. If you fancy building one yourself, this is the reference work – Build Your Own Earth Oven: A Low-cost Wood-fired Mud Oven; Simple Sourdough Bread; Perfect Loaves
Skills:
– Straw bale building and maintenance
– Clay and lime plastering

If you have no experience of sustainable building, you might be surprised at just how pleasurable and jolly it can be, compared to some modern building practices. However we know any building work can be stressful to you as a customer. Our ethics and integrity in business are a core belief of the business and we will do whatever we can to help, when we can, to keep you informed and engaged both before, during and after any work you give to us.
