Stunning Cottage Floor in 250 year old Cottage

Last in the series of different jobs we have done at this beautiful cottage built in circa 1770.
Here we have used a new limestone 300mm thick flag called Jura Beige from Londonstone to create a sleek but homely floor in the front lounge. There was a lot of tricky and awkward cuts here, especially where we had to scribe in to the exposed sandstone wall.

Wow Matty and Jacob an absolute masterclass as always in the craftsmanship of laying them beautiful tiles. The cutting of the tiles on the last run up tight against the wall was a joy to watch. The intricacy was second to none. Bossed it again for sure.

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

Tough going that last run Thank you Glenn

[@andrewmccartneyy6981]

The secret of your success is where most would see a problem, you see a challenge, it is in your character, the way your mum put your hat on, and where you derive your pleasure, and it shows in the finished job, with the added bonus of a father's pride in his boys progress. Well done fella

[@Brockstonepavingpros]

I love this! and yes you’re correct ☺️ that is how my mind works. Thank you for your continued support my friend

[@rosiebeardshaw658]

A well done job promotes a sense of well being and solidity . I will wager the carpenters didn't have to scribe anything off the skirt boards.

Granted I know next to nothing about laying stones, but what gets me is how you get the gap between them so precise each time. Looks like you just knock them about with a rubber mallet and then, presto, they’re bang on. Terrific work as per.

Oh My Goodness, Bravo Matty and Jake 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 with previous videos I have been lost for words to adequately describe or convey the level of talent shown in your videos! This video was literally like being transported back in time, where true workmanship and craftsmanship was born! Having watched so many landscapers and builders online, no one and I mean NO ONE could even wish to compete with your craft and it still brings a lump to my throat to see Jacob learning the Brockstone art so closely with his Dad 💖😢 There is something magical about this property that gets me every-time I watch you both on the next stage. This will be your legacy for sure and the cutting 😳 I truly don’t know what to say lol (that doesn’t happen very often with me) it’s immense, it’s stunning, it is out of this world to see that level of precision! 😮 In short, I just absolutely adore what you do, no one does it better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
