BUILDING WORK

WHEN WE GOT HERE WE WERE ALWAYS GOING TO DO OUR OWN BUILDING WORK,BUT FOUND MANY PEOPLE HERE WERE FRUSTRATED WITH BUILDING WORK THAT WAS BEING DONE. BULGARIAN BUILDERS ARE RENOWNED FOR NOT LISTENING TO WHAT YOU WANT AND TELLING YOU THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER THIS WAY OR THAT WAY, PLUS THERE IS THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. SO WE WERE APPROACHED BY SEVERAL CLIENTS AND IT HAS JUST GROWN FROM THERE.

OUR LATEST PROJECT IS THE CONVERSION OF A BARN TO LIVABLE ACCOMMODATION.IT IS ATTACHED TO A RENOVATED HOUSE AND NEEDED A NEW ROOF, FLOORS, DOORS AND WINDOWS AND THEN COMPLETLY REWIRED AND PLUMBED.

GARY IS THE ONE ON THE LADDER, IAN AND GOSHO ON THE ROOF AND TANYA PASSING UP THE TILES.

ITS STARTING TO COME TOGETHER NOW AND IT HAS BEEN RENDERED SINCE THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN. ITS JUST THAT THE WEATHER HAS SLOWED US DOWN A BIT AT THE MOMENT.

AS YOU CAN SEE THE EXTERNAL RENDER TO THE BRICK HALF OF THE BARN LOOKS GOOD NOW, AND WE BUILT THE STONE WALL ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BARN FROM SCRATCH TO HOLD THE NEW DOORS.

ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES IN WHAT APPEARED AT FIRST WAS A STRAIGHTFORWARD ROOF REPLACEMENT WAS THAT THE CLIENT WANTED US TO LEAVE THE ORIGINAL TIMBER BEAMS IN SITU, TO BE LEFT EXPOSED. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN OK EXCEPT THAT THE MAIN SUPPORT TIMBER NEEDED REPLACING. THIS MEANT THAT WE HAD TO RAISE THE ORIGINAL TIMBER FRAME AND SUPPORT IT ON ACRO'S WHILE WE INSERTED A NEW SUPPORT TIMBER.
WE THEN HAD TO PLASTERBOARD BETWEEN THE BEAMS TO LEAVE THEM OPEN. YOU CAN SEE THE NEW SUPPORT BEAM AND THE ORIGINALS.

GARDEN WALLS

GARDEN WALLS ARE VERY POPULAR AMONGST THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE HOUSES, BUT ARE NOT THERE ALL THE TIME AND NEED THE EXTRA SECURITY, THE MOST POPULAR TYPES ARE THE NATURAL STONE WALL, IN KEEPING WITH THE HOUSE, OR THE NICE BLOCK WALLS THAT ARE IN KEEPING WITH ANY MODERNISATIONS.

THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF HOW THE TWO STYLES CAN COME TOGETHER. STONE BUILT TRADITIONAL SUMMER KITCHEN AND NICE MODERN WALL.

BNECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE PLOTS OF LAND , SOME OF THESE WALLS CAN BE MASSIVE UNDERTAKINGS, LOTS OF TRANSPORT AND A LOT OF GOOD WEATHER.

SECURITY GRILLS

FOR THAT EXTRA PIECE OF MIND WE CAN MAKE TO MEASURE NICE WROUGHT IRON GRILLS WHICH ARE LIGHTER AND MORE AESTHETICLY PLEASING TO THE EYE THAN BARS.

DOORS AND WINDOWS

INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL PVC WINDOWS AND DOORS AVAILABLE IN BROWN OR WHITE.
