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.
