Flooring with historyOld flooring, frequently salvaged from large houses or farms, all too often leaves the UK heading for Japan or America, where the customers are very keen to have a piece of British history in their homes. With this in mind, let’s get patriotic and keep these products here, work on them, make them beautiful and create a talking point!

Any old ironWhen restoring an old period property, hinges, knobs and other fixtures to suit can be difficult to find. Marches Architectural Hardware on the Ddole Estate in Llandrindod Wells have an amazing stock of good quality door, window and furniture accessories; all beautifully presented.
Often, the colours in restored properties require specialist paint which gives the chalky finish of the traditional paint methods. Marches Ironmongery also provide Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and The Paint Library paints and wallpapers. These companies work in association with The National Trust and English Heritage producing fine quality paints with interesting finishes and wallpapers which are based on the actual designs found in some of their properties.

With concerns for our environment mounting, the reclamation and restoration of used materials possesses benefits beyond their stylish and beautiful worn character. The satisfaction at discovering that unique piece is rewarding, and something bespoke that adds character to your room or an antique passed down the generations, is a very sustainable way of furnishing your home.
Reclaimed wood has a character and charm that is impossible to obtain from new wood. Much of the timber used in older buildings came from aged, slow-growing trees, and is of much higher quality than the material from fast-growing plantations that are used today.

He initially trained with a Cotswold cabinet maker before moving back to Herefordshire to pursue his interest in furniture restoration, where he gained valuable experience working with a local antique furniture company.

He is now based at his Felton workshop where he and his wife Jo have established their own furniture business. Julian uses traditional methods and materials. His wealth of knowledge enables him to honour each job with the care and attention it deserves.
