Extension Renovation, Hereford - Renovation & Extension, Eltons Marsh, Hereford This country cottage was in need of a full renovation, the decision was made to create further space by adding an extension. The extension was built in the traditional manor of brick and block work, using reclaimed Hereford bricks, the extension added valuable living space to the cottage, the ground floor of the extension gave way to a generously sized lounge, natural light was plentiful due to a well proportioned window and bifold doors leading out onto a raised patio. The first floor of the extension produced two extra bedrooms, one of which served as the master bedroom with an on suit, a doorway was constructed within the build which opened out onto the kitchen flat roof which now served as a balcony This was one of the most enjoyable projects I have worked on, due to the client not only being a life long friend but also running a successful roofing company, E&R ROOFING. WYE VALLEY HERITAGE assisted Rodney from E&R ROOFING from start to finish with this project, resulting in a fabulous family home. The work undertaken: Excavation of footings to receive foundations Construction of the oversight Overseeing the construction of the external and internal works including damp proofing and renovation works

This country cottage residence situated in little birch Hereford, was in need of updating, while suffering from water ingress along with the deterioration of the internal masonry and decorative finishes. This was caused mainly from a lack of maintenance over a period of years, a combination of failing gutters, down pipes running out into the surrounding ground with blocked and collapsed drainage, water buts against the house walls without piped overflows in operation and high soil levels. A shed was positioned against the rear house wall with the shed roof pitched falling back toward the house and the rear elevation house wall was subject to the run off of water from the shed roof. There were also bricks missing that became obvious once the shed had been removed, revealing water ingress. The cottage was constructed of a solid brickwork construction and painted with non breathable paints

The dinning room of this quiet country cottage situated in Bromsberrow Ledbury Hereford was suffering from both rising and penetrating damp, the walls were constructed in solid brick, finished with a basecoat sand and cement render. then a second rough cast coating was applied. the ground level outside was level with the interior floor level, lowering the ground level out side was needed.

This wonderfully planted and well maintained garden in central Hereford, benefitted with the introduction of artificial grass, replacing an existing concrete paved area, adding the artificial grass enhanced the planting of the garden, delivering a low maintenance yet colourful alternative to the more regularly used paving materials, constructing a charcoal grey paver edging allowed a neat finish and colour contrast

We were instructed to look at a 4 ½ inch brick garden wall that was in disrepair following recent collapse. The decision was made to remove the decayed structure and build a new 9 inch wall with 1 ½ brick pier at each end, with intermittent piers along the length of the wall. This would create a much stronger wall and improve the existing design.
