Occasionally we are required to restore (or bring back from the dead) an original feature of a property or building.
������������ 

A Porch in need of some tender loving care, at first glance there is not too much wrong with it.
������������ 

On closer inspection however extensive
rot and more than a couple of extremely dubious repairs
Once timber, materials and special
equipment has been ordered work can begin.
��� ����� 
After establishing that none of the
support timbers were worth saving they were removed and replaced in sequence
ensuring the roof (which was in good condition) was properly supported at all
times, the new supports were located on steel pins set into the concrete.
�� �������� 
����� Inserting the sections of handrail also in
sequence, as unlike the original the new sections were mortised into the
supports for extra strength and stability.
���
Once all the vertical
supports and handrails were located and fixed into position the more decorative
pieces were fitted.
���������� ����� 
Arches, replacement tongue & groove
ceiling boards. Grain plugging filling & finishing the only thing left was
painting.
������ 
Finally we have
the satisfaction of a job well done and a very happy & satisfied customer.
