The topping out ceremony to mark the completion of the main structure and roof of the Westhorpe New Village Hall was a great success.

In attendance were; the Architect, Paul Weston; Sue Hull, the Chair of the Village Hall Committee; representatives of the National Lottery and Mid Suffolk District Council, along with a number of local residents.

The timber framed building is planned for completion in early February 2017, however, it is hoped that this long anticipated community facility will be handed over 1 month ahead of programme.

Bespoke softwood windows and pargetting are in-keeping with the surrounding buildings.

Client Testimonial:

“I employed Mixbrow to convert and existing outbuilding to create a 3 bedroom house in challenging conditions. My site was demanding; in the grounds of an historic watermill, with a high water table. Relations between Mixbrow and me were excellent throughout. Mixbrow staff and their subcontractors were always cheerful and helpful – willing to explain what they were doing. Everyone working on the project seemed determined to build to the highest specification and the finished result is excellent. James Johnston, Mendham Mill.
