Recent House Martin Projects

House Martin Poundbury, Dorset - House Martin are delighted to be the chosen manufacturer of GRP building products on the prestigous Poundbury village project outside Dorchester.

During November 2007 Prince Charles paid a visit to see how this clever mix of residential and commercial properties is progressing. We have been involved with GRP cornice to high levels towers where maintainance issues have preculded traditional timber alternatives.

Our TH01 stone effect cornice forms a beautiful concave arc on the highest buildings that dominate the local skyline, whilst our Lift Pit Liners can be found inside the Dorset Fire Brigade's new headquarters.

House Martin In addition, we are pleased to have been chosen for lightweight GRP stone effect corbels on numerous buildings at the Prince's other key project, the St. Austell urban village in Cornwall.

If you are looking to mimic a specific architectural detail we would be happy to discuss your individual requirements. We are happy to take on new designs, and can meet most low volume production needs given sufficient lead-time.

Call us on 01626 833800 to discuss your project.
