Welcome to our new website
Welcome to our new Website We have been busy developing ideas for nearly a year to bring you a site that allows us to give you more information about our products and services.
We aim to show you more of our fantastic images of products that have been used to brilliant effect by our customers, to help inspire and show the versatility of these wonderful materials.
We also aim to keep you better informed of exciting, new and unique items that find their way to us. Keep looking for a new section for a monthly WRBazaar of new in gems that we have found and perhaps a tempting offer or two!
Finally the new website allows us to expand the way we can communicate directly with you, with an online shop for small items coming very soon.
So keep looking in on our website to keep up to date with all these exciting goings on.

Canadian Barn Project
- Back in 2007 a timber framed barn was offered to us for sale. This wasn't anything unusual as these buildings do come to the end of their life as functional agricultural structures and are usually dismantled and stripped for the reclaimed timber within. However, we always feel they should be maintained as complete buildings where possible and when a Canadian client showed an interest we took the opportunity to embark on an exciting project; to dismantle the building and ship it to the West coast of Canada.
Work began in 2008 and the barn was deconstructed carefully and each piece recorded, labelled and stacked into shipping containers.
Two years on and construction has commenced with a Canadian carpentry team working with unfamiliar traditional framing techniques from photographs and plans......
Once complete, the barn will be the oldest building to be found on the West coast of Canada and will begin its new life as a charming home.

Demolition Works
We are registered with the CIS as both a contractor and sub-contractor and are fully insured to undertake deconstruction works. These can be projects of any size from taking down a modern bungalow or extension, to being involved with the demolition of large civic buildings to carefully taking apart a timber framed barn to be shipped to Canada and re-built * More on that particular project to come.....
Our approach is very much one of careful deconstruction as opposed to the 'ball & chain' method ensuring all materials are delicately handled, cleaned and suitably packaged by us on site. This guarentees both provenance and quality for our customers.
