Our BUILD team was engaged for the delicate restoration of this one-owner architectural holiday home in Somers. Works included internal and external alterations and repairs, extensive mould remediation, and replacement of roofing and fascias. Careful craftsmanship was used to meticulously rebuild the external decking sympathetically to the specific design and detail of the original worn decks.

“Matt was engaged to consider issues of a leaking roof and deck repair at our property in Somers. Both turned out to be major projects requiring serious mould remediation works, entire replacement of large and complex decks and significant other internal and external works.

The project took 6 months most of which was during Covid lockdown. Despite this the works proceeded smoothly with constant communication that was able to provide us with, as it turns out, well founded reassurance.

Matt’s craftsmanship and attention to detail is extraordinary, at a level rarely found amongst builders in our previous experience. Where sub-contractors were required, Matt engaged people that he knew could be trusted to provide high quality work, from roof plumbers, mould remediation specialists through to floor specialists. Matt undertook all of the detailed work himself and closely supervised the work of his trades and subcontractors.

We were concerned that the works would not alter the architectural aesthetic and heritage of the property. Matt was totally aligned with our thinking and at every step took care to either replicate or replace sympathetically as required for compliance.

We have no hesitation in recommending Orr Made as a company for a domestic project of any size and complexity.”
