A recently completed project in 2024 for Stonewood Homes which included:

  • Boarding
  • Tape & Joint
  • Dabbing
  • Traditional Skim
  • Render

Orchard Field is a stunning neighbourhood of 88 sustainable homes that harness cutting edge energy-saving technology with beautiful design.

These homes were created by award-winning designers and leading environmental engineers whilst maintaining a traditional look and feel, with an abundance of light and flexible space that makes them ideal for modern living.

Each of the one, two, three, four and five bedroomed homes were designed to be as energy efficient as possible without compromising on the high standards of finish and craftmanship Stonewood produce in their award-winning developments.

Working to the stringent Association for Environment Conscious Building standards, which demand excellent construction and low energy consumption, K&R Group supported creating homes capable of cutting heating bills by up to 70 per cent compared to standard new homes. Every home had up to 12 solar panels seamlessly embedded into its slate-tiled roof, 45cm thick walls filled with eco-friendly insulation, triple glazing and airtight interiors to eliminate draughts. An energy-efficient mechanical ventilation heat recovery system keeps the interiors comfortably warm. Clever small-bore pipes deliver rapid hot water to sinks and showers so that heat loss and water waste is reduced.

Roman Villa - Somerset

Stone Wood

This prestigious project is one of the most interesting and challenging in K & R Group's history which we completed for Stonewood Builders. 

Their client had a vision of creating a full-size authentic replica of a Roman Villa as the site is home to extensive Roman remains.

The Villa utilised traditional methodology in every possible way. Architects, engineers, historians and builders needed to form a robust team, which included K & R Group, to prepare an authentic and feasible design for the building.

Preparatory meetings involved obtaining historical samples from Italy to prepare numerous sample panels of specialist Render, known as Wattle & Daub.
