Calluna means ‘to sweep clean and make beautiful.’ We had the name, from the beautiful flower of the open moorlands, before we knew the derivation; it’s totally appropriate for the work we do – creating order and beauty through restoration and refurbishment.

Here we are happy to share the same inspirations and time honoured techniques, those that we use and have honed over decades. Techniques that we know work.
