4th Corner Landscaping’s Post

👏 A big well done to the Markey Building Services team on completing the extension of the existing petrol forecourt store at Huntley in Gloucestershire, just a stone's throw from Markey's head office in Gloucester. The extension almost doubled the existing premises' size and included a new car park, jet wash, EV bays, and a new forecourt. The project looks fantastic and Gardner Garages has already received a great response from customers, including some fabulous feedback. Markey Building Services operates nationally and we look forward to showing some more of our completed projects over 2024!

📣Preserving History at Charlecote Park📣 We are excited to share a recent project at Charlecote Park in Warwickshire, a stunning Grade II* listed estate . The project involved the restoration of the Boudoir Gate, a key element of the formal garden designed by John Gibson.    The Boudoir Gate, originally designed to provide access to a private garden, had fallen into disrepair. To ensure its continued historical significance and functionality, a collaborative effort was needed.    Our Specialist Crafts Team at Attingham Park led the project; Building Supervisor Andy Denham spearheaded logistics and materials procurement, Joiner Christian Rousel oversaw workshop production and installation, while Apprentice Josh Bobbett gained valuable experience assisting and learning new techniques.    Innovation and Sustainability: A Winning Combination  The existing gate was beyond repair, but its components served as templates for an accurate replica. Notably, the team used Accoya, a sustainable wood known for its durability - a new material for the team, requiring innovative production methods.    The restored Boudoir Gate is once again a focal point of the wall, accessible to the donor family, and enhancing the overall beauty of the area. This project exemplifies successful collaboration, a commitment to heritage preservation, and the ever-evolving skillset of the National Trust's dedicated craft teams.  #NationalTrust #CharlecotePark #Restoration #Craftmanship #heritage #skills #carpentry #accoya #woodwork
