Turning traditional Devon barns into exceptional homes — serving Crediton and the surrounding Mid Devon area from our Barnstaple base.
Crediton sits in the heart of Mid Devon between Exeter and the Dartmoor fringe, and for heritage and restoration projects we cover the town and its surrounding parishes.
Famous for its red Devon sandstone — most visibly in the magnificent Church of the Holy Cross — Crediton's older buildings have a distinctive local character that calls for matching stone and traditional lime mortars.
The town's long history and its concentration of listed sandstone buildings make Crediton a place where heritage restoration has to be done by people who genuinely understand traditional masonry.
Devon's traditional stone barns are some of the best conversion opportunities in the country — solid, characterful buildings that, done properly, become genuinely exceptional homes. Done badly, they become expensive problems. The difference is a contractor who understands both the structural realities of old agricultural buildings and the standards modern living demands.
We handle barn conversions from groundworks to finish: underpinning and structural repairs, new openings cut and dressed in matching stone, insulation and damp strategies that work with a breathing building rather than against it, and all the brickwork, blockwork and rendering in between. Because we run our own plant and machinery and keep the work in-house, you're not juggling six different subcontractors — one team, one point of contact, one standard.
Many barns come with planning conditions attached — Class Q permissions, conservation requirements, or listed status. We're used to working within those constraints and alongside architects and planning officers to deliver what's been approved, properly.



A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your barn conversion in Crediton is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.
The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.
Stonework, brickwork, groundworks and finishing handled by our own team — not a chain of subcontractors.
Diggers, dumpers and machinery owned and operated by us, which keeps rural and awkward sites moving.
Traditional masonry is the heart of the business — the standard of our stonework carries through every job.

“Absolutely stunning work”
— Craig Cronin“Transformed our garden completely”
— Melissa Barker“Exceeded every expectation”
— D. NewmanYes — structural repairs, underpinning, new openings and lintels, roof structure work and all masonry are done in-house. That's the core of what we do, not something we subcontract out.
Yes. We regularly work on projects with conservation requirements and are comfortable liaising with Mid Devon District Council and your architect to make sure the approved details are delivered exactly.
We do — we run our own plant and machinery, so drainage, foundations, service trenches and access work are all handled by the same team. On rural sites around Crediton that saves serious time and money.
