Salcombe Brewery

A new commercial building at Ledstone Cross near Kingsbridge

This was a tricky but interesting build, as it was previously owned by SWW and used as water storage for Kingsbridge and Ledstone and still had live pipes running through the site. We utilised the existing water storage bunker as part of the lower ground floor level and added an additional extension to the south. We started by breaking up the reinforced concrete lid and south side wall, adding strip foundations and a concrete ring beam to take the steel frame.

The steel frame walls and roof were clad with insulated sheets and further clad with sawn timber boarding. We also added an office and further storage using traditional cavity walls plus timber cladding to match the brewery.
