‘SPLENDID’ WORK ON PRINCE’S HOME

John Weaver Conservation is delighted to announce the completion of £2.5 million refurbishment on the former 18th century Coach House for the Duchy of Cornwall. The Coach House has been converted into the official Welsh residence of their Royal Highnesses, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. The project includes barn conversions into a large dining hall and extending barns to encompass the former Coach House courtyard.

We are advised that their Royal Highnesses are delighted with the property. Their appreciation was demonstrated by inviting the whole of John Weaver Contractors workforce along for an informal drinks evening at their residence at Llwynywermod. Their appreciation was further extended directly to our Project Manager, David Cameron, with the presentation of a Christmas cake from the Royal Household, (see picture on the left).

All materials on this project were sourced and made in Wales utilizing traditional craft techniques to include:

Hydraulic lime plaster externally
Internally glaster and hemp lime plaster utilising recycled bottled glass instead of sand to avoid quarrying marine sand extraction
Welsh green oak for hand-crafted trusses and dowelled beams
Welsh flagstones and marble stone including stooled windowsills and carved stone fireplaces
Carved stone Norman arch including leaded lights
Sheeps wool insulation
Welsh slate roofs
Welsh oak floors
Recycled fuel by means of woodchip biomass boiler for heating and hot water
