I bought a little old cottage in Goudhurst which had been extensively ‘modernised’. What I wanted to do was sensitively renovate it, such that the modern materials would be removed and more traditional materials put in its place.

I found it very difficult to find people who respected this type of renovation and ended up with some grave disappointments, particularly with plasterwork and wood working. I called Mike Sandy’s at Deacon and Sandys, who was so helpful that I immediately asked them to make two doors for the downstairs.

When they came in to do the work, they brought a passion and consideration which I’d not experienced before. They not only put the doors in but helped me to discover all the hidden oak, cleaned it for me, showed me how to care for it, and re-jigged work to accommodate the discoveries so everything would fit.

"We wanted something quality, special and unique....a 4" thick 16th Century solid oak door for a fortified farmhouse in the wilds of Northumberland. It was a leap of faith that made us fly to the South of England.

We were not dissapointed....the quality,care and listening to our brief was all there; we immediately placed the order.

When the door arrived our expectations were exceeded...the detail,the quality and the finish were all in keeping with our property.

On the back of one door we placed a subsequent order for bookcases,skirtings, 7 other doors, beams and we also used the skilled polishers to tie in other parts of the house.
