Boundary Wall for an OBE
The customer who was awarded the OBE in 2019 is Mr Tom Karren of Cambridge, The work I will be doing is to take down a 25m boundary walling which is in terrible condition to make maters worse others have work on this walling but used ordinary cement and not lime.
I will be taking down the bricks and cleaning them to be re-used using traditional lime morta mix and building in traditional buttress piers.

Boundary Wall on Steel Beam
This wall was collapsing and was asked to rebuild using a white/yellow brick in traditional lime morta, because of the trees that are in close proximity to the wall, I produce a steel beam foundation sitting on concrete pads with 200mm free flow under the beams, this will allow the tres roots to grow and move without damaging the new wall. The brickwork was built in traditional Flemish bond with lime morta, the customer is over the moon.
