My client base extends far beyond the locality and even abroad since much current work is tourism related. However most projects are actually carried out within 10 miles of Ambleside - the greater percentage probably within 5 miles! While I have done projects in Cockermouth, Keswick and Kendal the vast majority of the work I handle is in and around Ambleside, Grasmere, Coniston, Hawkshead and Windermere. Some commercial work for shops and hotels but the greater part is alterations and extensions to residential properties - often cottages or barn conversions. About half my new-build work involves using local stonework and nearly all my alteration work - quite often on very old or listed buildings. Roofing is almost always in local slate.

Thus my specialisation is sympathetic remodelling or new design in keeping with the surroundings balanced against the restrictions of working within a National Park and the technical demands of modern building regulations...
and keeping clients happy! :-)
