In 1999 before the property was adapted to a dwelling it was once a piggery (yes that’s a house for pigs), now it’s a modernised home for a family to enjoy. Bourke Build was instructed to manage the project consisting of a full refurbishment to the two-storey building to create better use of the layout and form a large open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. To bring in natural light they installed a 7-meter window into the kitchen/dining area, which also provides them with the perfect view of the stunning outside surroundings. Giving a warmth feeling to this family home, they installed underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, in the master bedroom and ensuite. Let’s not forget about the kid’s playroom, within the lounge area Bourke Build created a separate space for the playroom with pocket doors to hide away the toys (every parent’s dream).

Bourke Build was appointed to take on the works of refurbing and remodelling an old Georgian Farmhouse with a strict schedule. Bourke Build constructed a new opening between the kitchen and dining area to make it open plan and formed a new ceiling at a slightly higher level keeping the timber beams exposed. The existing chimney on the ground and first floor level was removed to add additional space. Floor Membranes was installed to provide damp proofing and then overlayed with European Oak flooring.

Much to the delight of the clients, the work was brought in on-budget and time.

Aldwark Manor Estate with 185 acres of land in the magnificent countryside of Yorkshire was built by Lord Walsingham in the late 1800’s as a wedding present for his eldest daughter. Bourke Build were instructed to undertake the strip out, structural works of the reception area and restrooms. Due to the large scale and height of the reception area this required an excessive amount of specialist propping system to support the structure while undertaking the works. Bespoke frameless glass was installed to the opening of the reception for customers to walk in.

Stone repairs were carried out to restore the heavily damaged masonry arches which resembles the St. Pancreas Station in London which resulted in an extremely pleased client and Architect.
