Seems like yesterday me and 2 Planks Ltd - Joinery & construction were taking the old fire damaged roof down on Boleskine house. Impressive transformation!

Boleskine House opens to the public after seven-year renovation The category B-listed property was gutted by a fire in 2015 and a subsequent blaze in 2019.

This is what 'challenging ground conditions' looks like in practice 🫣. We'll be glad to get out the ground on this one!

Onwards and upwards!

Over the past 3 years, we’ve grown from a team of 2 to 8, entirely through word of mouth, repeat business, and building strong relationships with local architects. A huge thank you to everyone who’s trusted us along the way.

That growth has brought us to an important point — we’re now moving into a more structured way of operating, with full-time management in place to support the projects we’re delivering.

For me, that means stepping away from being on the tools day-to-day and focusing fully on estimating, project coordination, and working closely with clients and architects to deliver projects properly from start to finish.

What does that mean in practice?

- Faster response times
- Quicker turnaround on quotes and tenders
- Better communication throughout projects
- A smoother overall experience for our clients

It’s a big step, and one we’re proud of — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the effort from the whole team.

Here’s to the next stage.

(Although I’ll still be jumping on a mini digger now and then…)

The annual Christmas deadline panic! 3 days left to get this 2 storey extension finished 🫣. Watch this space 💪

This is about as much Murrayfield sponsorship as we can afford 🤣

Our customer just sent these lovely photos of her new front door, porch canopy and porcelain steps - designed by Charlie Heenan Architecture & Design, and built by us.

Well my social media manager (me) has been slacking!

Here's a selection of some pretty pictures from the last 6 months:

Finish line in sight!
