Recently we have developed a successful way of helping customers with traditional building techniques. This solution is intended for people with a basic knowledge of building skills. As fully qualified conservation builders we can attend your project and teach you various skills which you can continue with on a daily fee.

We offer one to one coaching in traditional skills such as:

  • Lime plastering
  • Lime rendering
  • Cob repair
  • Stone masonry
  • Limecrete flooring
  • Historic brick work
  • Earth plastering

We can also offer a consultancy service in conjunctiion with onsite tuition. Advice is also available in obtaining listed building consent.

Holman & Co. Limited Father and Son business based in Honiton, Devon and provide Stone, Cob and Lime repair, restoration and Cob and Stone new build services, covering the whole of Devon and the South West. In keeping with traditional practice, our methods involve materials sourced locally for conservation of the area. We can offer a wide range of services using traditional methods, using Lime, Cob and Stone, working on both period buildings and new builds. We have also worked closely with many insurance companies for repairs.

We work with both the private individual and commercial building and construction companies such as Savills, EBC, Enelco, Summerfield Developments, St Johns Lodge, Regents Park - London, Powderham Estate and Whitton & Laing to name but a few.

The heart of a good Cob construction lies in the stone foundation upon which it lies. Good Cob work needs good stone work beneath it.
