By Kemp Harr As fast as we’d like to see the coronavirus go away, the silver lining is the priority shift toward the home, which is driving American homeowners to place where they live and how their home functions much higher on the priority list. The reality has set in that the home is and will be much more than a closet and a place to lay their head at night. As a result, residential flooring sales are much stronger than expected, and this wave of business energy should continue, thanks to the extended role the home now plays in the daily work and family routine.

The project is part of a £6 million roof replacement project at the stately home.

The first five of 27 ornate mock-Tudor chimneys have been reconstructed ahead of Christmas at a Grade I listed country house.
As part of a £6million roof project at the National Trustâs Oxburgh Hall, bricks for the new chimneys are being hand-made using traditional methods.
Added for decoration in the Victorian era and now in need of urgent repair, only five of the chimneys are being restored using existing bricks.
