After restoring a timber frame barn into my own home in 1976 I have been involved with nearly every aspect of barn and log cabin restoration from foundation repair to converting barns intowedding venues and homes. We also buy barns to provide completely restored barn and log cabin packages for those who appreciate the craftsmanship in these structures and wish to preserve a piece of history for themselves. Professional restoration assessments, conversion planning and free DIY advice.

GFD Wood Working is a restoration company that helps dedicated individuals preserve & enhance their homes.
With a professional background steeped in tradition Gerald has developed a keen sense and eye for the character of a building and its place.
Having lived in many countries and worked in many cultures Gerald has both the experience and sensitivity that can reinvigorate any building and bring it back to past glory and make it work for modern needs.
Preserving & adapting the built environment and making it viable in a changing world spells conservation on many levels: historically, environmentally and socially. By keeping and adapting our buildings we honor the generations that have made an effort before us and set an example for those to come.
