About Us

Ecological Building. Concern is growing over the environmental impact of many modern products. There is now an awareness of issues such as tropical deforestation and 'Sick Building Syndrome'. Concern about indoor pollution and allergies is particularly high. In terms of energy and toxicity, buildings and construction are amongst the most wasteful and polluting areas of modern life. This situation can be changed and Natural Building Products are part of the solution.
Earth Products. These are suitable for historic building repairs and for new building applications. They are extremely low energy materials, from sustainable resources and are entirely healthy. They are eminently suitable for "breathing" constructions. Earth products are easy and pleasant to use and are capable of creating a stunning appearance. They are durable and easily maintained.
Insulation Products. These are suitable for all types of buildings, but particularly for breathing constructions where control of moisture is necessary. For this reason they are indispensable in the renovation of historic buildings.

Clay Board
Made of clay, reed and hessian. It is a practical alternative to plasterboard or lath and plaster and is compatible with clay or lime plasters. Clay products help to regulate temperature and moisture and provide acoustic insulation.Click here for technical sheet.

Claytec Plasters - General
These are a blend of clay, fine aggregate and plant fibres. They are supplied as dry powders in bags or as "green" or wet mixes in 1 tonne or 1.2 tonne bags. They have an indefinite shelflife whilst dry and are mixed with clean water for use. They harden by drying and, as no chemical reaction takes place, they remain workable for a lengthy period and can be re-worked by the addition of water. They can be used internally on masonry, clayboards, lime plasters and plasterboard and offer a practical alternative to gypsum plasters. The self-coloured plasters provide a high quality non-dusting surface without the need for further decoration.

These are suitable for the repair and rebuilding of earth buildings. We supply two types - compressed and extruded. The compressed cob blocks more closely match the original composition of the sub-soil used for cob buildings, the extruded cob blocks are slightly smaller and a bit cheaper!
Coverage - a cubic metre of wall rebuild will require 80 cob blocks 18" x 9" x 4"
Bedding mortar - a tonne of 4/1 lime mortar will bed around 160 cob blocks.

Riven and Sawn Lath

Stabilising Mat
Click to view larger image

We stock over 100,000 feet of lath and battens. Riven/hand split lath is cut with the grain and is less flexible than sawn lath and offers a coarser surface for lime plasters to adhere to, making it more suitable for ceiling repairs. The key to the riven surface is then an additional grip to that formed by squeezing the lime plaster through the gaps between the laths. Riven Chestnut lath is a little more flexible than riven oak lath and can therefore be used for following contours or undulations a little better if needed.

Sawn larch lath is a good quality wood that is the most flexible, particularly useful for longer lengths that need to follow old walls that have 'charactor'.
