Where the standard was set
Before Barlow Construction, our founder spent many years working on some of North Yorkshire's great estates, including Rudding Park near Harrogate and Newby Hall near Ripon.
Estate work is its own discipline. The buildings are old, often listed, and anything new has to sit next to work that has been standing for two or three hundred years. There is no hiding a poor joint or a stone set on the wrong bed.
It is where our founder learned to work on old stone buildings, listed and unlisted: how solid walls breathe, why lime matters and how to repair stone so the repair does not stand out.
We take on estate and period property work today, and the habits formed in those years go into every job we do.
