New House Build

Lees Building Contractors Ltd crafted a bespoke new house build, meticulously clad in reclaimed street stone to preserve the local character. Modern enhancements include sliding UPVC sash windows for energy efficiency and a custom cedar wood garage door, marrying heritage aesthetics with contemporary comfort.

Key Works & Features

• Foundations & Superstructure
  Engineered strip and raft foundations supporting load‑bearing blockwork walls, tied back with stainless‑steel wall ties and DPC.

• Reclaimed Stone Façade
  Salvaged local stone, cleaned and hand‑dressed, laid in traditional coursed bond with lime‑based mortar to match neighbouring properties.

• Sliding UPVC Sash Windows
  Heritage‑style, low‑E double glazing in slim‑profile UPVC frames featuring smooth‑glide sliding sashes and discreet trickle vents.

• Cedar Wood Garage Door
  Solid Western Red Cedar sectional door, factory‑finished with clear UV varnish and fitted with automated opening mechanism.

• Roof & Rainwater Goods
  Timber roof trusses with breathable felt underlay and matching clay plain tiles; copper guttering and downpipes for lasting performance.

• Interior Fit‑Out & Finishes
  Plasterboard ceilings, engineered oak flooring, bespoke joinery and integrated heating and lighting systems throughout.

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Lime Mortar Pointing: NHL 3.5 mix for breathability and historic compatibility.

• Stone Cleaning & Dressing: Gentle detergent wash and sand‑blasting to reveal original texture.

• Thermal Efficiency: 100 mm cavity insulation and U‑value‑compliant window units.

• Precision Carpentry: CNC‑cut cedar panels and concealed fixings for the garage door.

• Weatherproofing: Continuous DPC, cavity trays and breathable roof membranes.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Heritage Integration: Reclaimed stone blends seamlessly with the street, respecting local conservation guidelines.

• Modern Performance: Sliding UPVC sashes and high‑performance insulation deliver comfort and lower energy bills.

• Premium Joinery: Cedar garage door and oak interiors add warmth, durability and bespoke character.

• Turnkey Delivery: From groundworks to landscaping, Lees Building Contractors Ltd managed every phase with precision.
