Garden Wall

Here I built a 3 metres high, 20 metres long garden wall. After laying the reinforced concrete foundations, the block wall was constructed and tied in with pillars every 2 metres. I then rendered both sides and finished by laying roof tiles on top of the wall

Top Job

This has to be a contender for my favourite job. I was asked to construct, 1) a base so tiles could be laid surrounding a swimming pool, 2) to lay the floor tiles and insert steel railings, 3) to provide a storage area below, 4) to build a stone-cladded wall and seating area.

What also made this such a pleasurable working experience was the stunning location - the house was built on the side of a mountain (the views were incredible) in Southern Spain.

Steps: Built - Tiled - Rendered - Painted

Here's another one of my favourite projects. I had to provide better access for a client who was finding it difficult to get from his driveway to the front door. The photos below show how I achieved this.

Favourite Projects

This is in my top ten favourite projects. The clients wanted: (i) their patio re-tiled (ii) to remove the old tiles from the steps and lay new ones (iii) to remove the existing "block rail" (iv) to insert a decorative metal handrail (v) to tile the walls enclosing the patio area.

Repairing & Insulating An Outdoor Swimming Pool

This outdoor swimming pool had been neglected for 20 years and was in urgent need for repairs. First job was to repair the damage to the sides of the pool. The base of the pool was level, so the next task was to create  "shallow" and "deep" ends. This was done by using insulation boards (this will help to reduce heat loss) and hard core. This area was then screaded to provide a smooth base for the lining.
