Dovecote Restoration
Overview
It was a real pleasure to give this charming dovecote a new lease of life. The project called for a careful blend of traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail, ensuring the dovecote not only looked fantastic but would stand up to the elements for years to come.
What We Did
For this restoration, we installed brand new tiles, built a sturdy hardwood frame, and fitted fresh lead flashings for long-lasting weather protection. To finish, we gave the dovecote a fresh lick of paint, carefully matched to the existing windows and fences of Piglet Lodge, so everything ties together beautifully.
Highlights
New Tiles: Chosen for durability and a classic look, perfectly suited to the character of the dovecote.
Hardwood Framework: Crafted for strength and longevity, ensuring the structure is solid and secure.
Lead Flashings: Professionally installed to keep the dovecote watertight and protected from the weather.
Custom Paintwork: Matched to the property’s existing features for a seamless, coordinated finish.
Why It Matters
Restoring features like this dovecote is about more than just repairs—it’s about preserving the unique character of a property and making sure every detail feels just right. We love projects like this, where a little extra care makes all the difference.
