One of the first renovation projects undertaken by Hendry Homes was in 1987 at Gadgirth Cottage. Over many years Iain has gained invaluable knowledge on managing many wide ranging and diverse traditional and contemporary projects from planning to completion.
Gadgirth Cottage was but a shell when purchased by Iain in 1987, a testing time followed with planning and eventually in late 1988 planning was granted.
The property needed extended, as well as fully renovated and ensured a quick and steep learning curve for the Hendry Homes team.
Once completed the accommodation comprised of lounge, conservatory, kitchen, dining room, w.c., family bathroom with spa, 3 bedrooms, master ensuite with fully landscaped gardens.
A more recent renovation project undertaken by Hendry Homes was Friendliehead
Farm, By Mauchline, Ayrshire.
Bought in March 2005 by Hendry Homes, work started on site in the August, the plan to create four beautiful country homes developed over the coming months...
The condition of the farm and outbuildings was very poor and required major site clearance and renovation works.
Works in the early stages included site clearance and demolition as well as:
- Roof removal
- Concrete works
- Steel works
- Window and door openings
- Rainwater and foul drainage
Hendry Homes craftsmen manufactured and erected the timber kits, the next stage was to have the roof trusses manufactured and delivered on site. Site works then included:
- Felting
- All leadwork
- Natural slate work
- Conservation velux installation
- Internally stud partitions were now going up with electrical first fix and plumbing first fixes taking place.
Hendry Homes offer purchasers the opportunity to enjoy underfloor heating in all their properties, we specialise in both water and electric systems.
Properties are insulated to high levels for comfort and reduced heating
costs. Externally drainage is now in the final stages and Hendry Homes can
expertly carry out the installation of septic tanks and full reed bed system
as was the case at Friendliehead Farm.
