The 1960’s dormer bungalow that was previously on this site in Prestbury was demolished to make way for this larger Arts and Craft style property, with a 21st century focus on renewable and low carbon energy, named Dormers. It has been built in the dormer style to be in keeping with both the former, and other properties nearby. The extensive use of Cumbrian sandstone has created many interesting features and detail, and our client has also added a date stone which adds to the traditional feel of the house and is a lovely personal touch. The Cheshire brick work is particularly impressive. The oversized oak entrance door is a beautiful piece of local craftsmanship and at 9ft tall makes a real statement. It is also a sign of the high quality of materials and workmanship throughout the property. You might expect the dormer style to mean significant head height restrictions, but careful design and no attic means practical head height in all areas of the first floor and allows for ceilings up to 4 metres in all the upstairs rooms, including the bathrooms. Naturally this adds to the sense of space in the already spacious rooms.
The dwelling includes five bedrooms which are all en-suite. The bathrooms are all equipped and furnished with simplicity yet elegance in mind. One of the bedrooms is located above the large garage with its own lounge and study and is separated slightly from the rest of the house, linked by its own staircase. Another bedroom suite is located on the ground floor to future proof the house. As does provision for straightforward installation of a lift, should that be needed. One of the bedrooms is being used as large study/office.
The kitchen, part of a large kitchen/living dining room, was designed to suit the Arts and Crafts style of the house with double panelled door designs and chunky antique pewter handles. Our client wanted an eclectic combination of hand made natural oak and hand painted units. Book-matched burr oak panels were added in the doors for extra detail. The kitchen and matching utility/boot room were designed to be as ergonomic as possible. This is where the inspiration for the island shape came from, it’s easy to move around with few sharp corners or pinch points. Split levels on the island also allows for multiple heights of seating for more sociability, sitting at a curve also means easier eye-contact can be made with more people. The coffer above the island mirrors the shape, with a flush extractor and pendant lights. As many drawers as possible were put below the countertop so our client doesn’t have to bend down to reach into the backs of cupboards, and all appliances are raised for the same reason. A unique and easy-to-clean door was designed for the kitchen units with 45 degree chamfer panels to reduce the build up of dust. Our client wanted furniture tight to the ceiling to avoid dust traps but still to be accessible and functional, and so the ceiling above was dropped to the top of the cabinetry and a feature made of this with the heavily moulded coving and ambient downlights.
The house includes a more formal lounge, a spacious hall and substantial landing. The latter accommodates a large sofa and bookcases to afford a quiet and relaxing space for reading. The staircase is hand made in oak with a bespoke laser-cut wrought iron balustrade in an Arts and Crafts design. Our client also wanted a loggia at the rear of the house to provide a protected seating area with an outside kitchen allowing them to enjoy the garden all year round with a cleverly designed floating fire place and also heaters installed, making this a lovely cosy space.
Sustainability and efficiency was prominent in the design brief and this has been achieved with the involvement of a specialist renewable energy company who worked directly with us and our client to produce an energy efficient Mechanical and Electrical design for Dormers. The property benefits from renewable energy heating systems (Air source heat pump and solar thermal), a heat recovery system (MVHR) and renewable power & storage (Solar PV + Large Capacity Battery).
It is of paramount importance that all new builds going forward consider sustainable materials and systems to ensure that carbon emissions are reduced as much as possible. With a clear vision from the clients, the Dormers project is a future proofed sustainable property with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of “A” (The highest that can be achieved).
• Air Source Heat Pump: Powered by low carbon electricity the heat pump provides central under floor heating and hot water to the house (Nibe 16kW).
• Solar PV System: The solar PV systems provide renewable power and reduces purchased electricity use.
• Battery Storage: Excess electricity generated by the solar PV system can be stored in the large battery storage system and used at any time in the house (including in the event of a grid outage) or returned to the grid.
• Solar Thermal: The solar thermal system generates renewable hot water on sunny days reducing the cost of generating hot water.
• Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR): The advanced whole house ventilation system supplies filtered fresh air and removes moisture from the building. On top of this the ventilation system also recovers heat from the building to heat the incoming air, when that is below the desired internal temperature. (Zehnder)
• Electric Vehicle Charging: The Dormers benefits from 3 x EV chargers so that multiple electric vehicles can be charged at the same time. (Zappi smart EV chargers - 2 x 7kW, 1 x 22kW)
Once the design stage was complete, the renewable energy specialists were appointed as Fabric, Mechanical and Electrical project management support, to ensure the project was constructed and commissioned correctly and the attached energy rating document proves that this was achieved.
The property has only just been completed with our client moving in only a few weeks ago but already they are delighted with the end result; a very bespoke and innovative house that is beautifully built by a team of highly talented tradesmen. As well as of our passion for design our primary ethos is that each property be as individual as its occupants, having their own personalities and influences and we truly believe this is the case at Dormers.

Accoya Wood
Distributed by Timspec, Accoya was used chosen as the ideal material to clad a show home in Auckland.
Accoya was selected for the black coated weatherboards on the front section of the house, due to its durability and stability benefits. Because of Accoya’s modification technique it is the ideal wood for external cladding such as this.
Generally, problems can occur with darker coatings on cladding, due to shrink and swell being exasperated by the solar gain. But, Accoya wood’s superior dimensional stability negates this problem and maintenance intervals are dramatically extended.
The cladding needed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as highly durable in order to withstand the extreme climates in New Zealand. Accoya was also chosen due to its rot resistant benefits and its ability to deter insects in these types of environments.

SUPERIOR CHIMNEY SERVICES CORPORATION
The dryer vent. Who is thinking about cleaning the dryer vent when we clean them every time we do laundry, right? Let me share with you what I discovered this weekend. I spent some time outside this weekend trying to do two things at one time. 1. Enjoy some of the sunshine 2. Spring Clean.
Spring Cleaning
As Spring cleaning is well underway, it seems like the leaves never went away from the Fall. In every corner of the home, there’s a pile of leaves wet and stuck to the ground. However, on the back side of the home, the leaves made its way from one side to the other. I knew this was going to take a while.
As I reached the half way mark, I remembered that a family member was inside washing a load of laundry. I could hear the low sound of the dryer running. But wait…the flap is barely moving.
Dryer Vent Cleaning #1 Benefit
Let’s first discuss the #1 benefit of a dryer vent sweep. You get done with your laundry faster and your dryer unit lasts longer. If the dryer vent isn’t cleaned once per year, the hot moist air remains in the dryer and venting system. It takes longer for the dryer to complete its job. And…not very good for the life of your dryer unit either. Infrequent dryer vent service shortens the life of your dryer unit as it needs to work harder and longer to dry your clothes. The moist air can also get trapped in your clothes and leave a musty smell. All that work, and you’re right back where you started.
Dryer Vent #1 Problem to Solve
The issue of dryer vents is a real one. According to the National Fire Protection Association, about 13,000 home dryer fires are reported each year. 34% of those fires are caused by lint. Now that’s not to say that you don’t clean your dryer vent. You do. But lint has a mind of its own. Some light and fluffy lint gets past the lint trap and accumulates in the duct that leads to the outside.
More Problems with Dryer Vents
Because we want you to be fully armed with information, here are some additional problematic signs that can cause a dryer vent fire.
Clothes are too hot to touch. Remember, there’s a cool down before you take the clothes out. When that’s still too hot, that’s a sign the dryer vent is clogged.
The room with the washer and dryer, it’s also too hot.
The dryer vent flap or slats outside isn’t working properly. If you also notice in the picture, lint and debris begin to make its way out of the slats or flap. That’s pretty full.
Smell the dryer sheet. If you notice it doesn’t smell like the dryer sheet, there’s a clog.
What Can a Homeowner Do?
To begin, to check your dryer vent outside. Is it working properly? Is there anything overflowing outside? Next, throw in a load of laundry. Does it smell musty? A little or a lot? Is the dryer overly hot in the cool down? Is it running longer than it used to?
If you get a slight yes to a full blown yes, then it’s time to get it cleaned by Superior Chimney. Give us a call at 877-244-6349 to schedule up your spring dryer vent cleaning. Smell like fresh spring!

Retro Design House
Extensively remodelled an old home with redesigning spaces to fit in large windows thus increasing the natural light benefits to create a contemporary ambience with a light and warm atmosphere through the home. The house benefits from a seamless modern flow between formal and informal reception rooms.
GMI Design Group
In this primary bathroom, the lighting scheme was key to achieve the client’s goals and create a space where the client would enjoy being. The bathroom felt cramped, dark, visually heavy. The client was also claustrophobic, making the use of the space uncomfortable.
The goal was to transform this space into a relaxed modern spa-like atmosphere, rethink and simplify the floorplan avoiding visual clutter, access natural light, add efficient lighting, and create more visual space.
The lighting plan was crucial to increase visual space. My first thought was to add a skylight to access natural light that is so effective in enlarging the feel of a space.
After looking at the attic and roof lines it became clear that this was not an option. After some research I found the perfect solution: a smart light fixture that mimics a window. It is installed between studs or ceiling joists. The fixture replicates the light of the sun during the day. It goes from soft morning light - to bright noon - to soft dawn light. By recessing the fixture into the ceiling, the skylight-look and extra height was achieved.
The benefits of this light go beyond beautiful design. The fixture is sustainable, energy efficient, and made to last for decades. It regulates the body’s circadian rhythm, helping against sleeping problems and seasonal affective disorder. It also integrates biophilic design, creating connections to nature and benefiting people that spend hours indoors.
The use of mood lighting was also key, creating a cozy, welcoming feel to this home-spa. All the lights are dimmable, and plenty of indirect light sources, like the gorgeous vanity pendants and LED mirrors, create the perfect setting. Not forgetting to mention the soft curves of the bathtub chandelier. This is the perfect place to relax in the bubbly bathtub!

Heathland Group Limted
Heathland Group were contacted by a private client who required aeration in a lake on their property. Within the lake was an island where they were planning to build a lodge, providing an ideal place for compressor placement. The client also wanted something that was aesthetically pleasing and could be seen at night, the AirPro Delmar aerating fountain, which is a floating lake fountain with aeration, seemed the perfect option.
Our aerating fountain proposal
SS2 Delmar Aerating Fountain
After inspecting the size and shape of the lake our technical team proposed an AirPro 4 diffused aeration system to efficiently aerate all areas of the lake. A diffused aeration system pumps air through diffuser membranes and makes its way to the lake surface in the form of millions of tiny bubbles. As these bubbles travel upward they entrain water with them. This water is carried to the lake surface where it becomes naturally oxygenated, thus aerating your lake.
A 2 HP Select Series 2 Delmar Aerating Fountain was also proposed with 4 35watt LED lights to provide a stunning feature to be enjoyed day and night. A control panel that could also be used remotely was proposed for safety and ease of operation. Floating lake fountains have many benefits over traditional fountain pump systems that are usually mounted on the lake bed. Pumps at the bottom of lakes are susceptible to debris such as leaves and weeds getting caught up in them, causing faults to develop or over heating.
Our floating lake fountains are intelligently designed. There are minimal obstructions and a clear passageway for the water flow at all times, so no blockages. All Heathland fountains come with high specification oil-filled motors to greatly extend motor life and power efficiency. Many of our long-term customers have already benefited from our maintenance programs and have fountains that are running efficiently after 10 years.
Installation of the Delmar aerating fountain
Once the client approved the proposal our team travelled to Hodnet in Shropshire with all the required equipment to complete the installation. The diffusers were placed in positions to ensure that they were able to aerate all areas of the lake. The compressor was placed towards the back of the island so it would be hidden by the lodge when viewed from the house. The weighted airline from the compressor was trenched within the island from the compressor to the edge of the bank ensuring it was out of sight.
Heathland Group supplies a large range of standard fountain patterns and aerator packages but we also design and build bespoke fountains and aerators. Contact us for a Free no obligation quote or any questions you may have. Please call us on 0800 389 1990 or email us at info@heathlandgroup.co.uk
