THE WEATHER MIGHT HAVE STOPPED THE CRANE… BUT IT HASN’T STOPPED CMR! 💛🖤

Another busy week on our Lake District rebuild, although the British weather has certainly had other ideas! 🌧️💨😂

With the weather battering the UK this week, we’ve had to make the sensible decision to postpone our planned crane lift.

But that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting around waiting for the sunshine! 💪🔨

Instead, the lads have cracked on with:

🔨 Temporary roof completely stripped off
🪚 Existing roof spars and joists removed
🏗️ Old ridge beams taken out
🧱 Wall plates prepared, bedded and ready
🏠 Everything prepared for our new bespoke roof trusses

The plan is simple — get everything ready now so when the crane arrives, we can get straight on with the lift and installation.

Straightforward job… fingers crossed! 🤞😂

We’re still on target to have this building watertight over the coming weeks, ready to push ahead with the next stages of this massive transformation.

🌲 AND JUST LOOK AT THAT STEEL BEAM! 😳

The damage caused when the tree came crashing down is unbelievable!

It must have been some size of tree to bend a structural steel beam like that! 😬

It really puts into perspective the force involved and just how much structural work this property has needed.

⛰️🏡 BUT ONE THING’S FOR SURE… THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE WORTH THE WAIT!

Just look at those views from up here! 😍⛰️

Imagine waking up in one of the new bedrooms, looking out across the stunning Lake District countryside. You really couldn’t ask for a better setting!

Once those bespoke roof trusses are installed, the extra height and space they’re creating will make the most of this incredible location.

From storm-damaged garages to something truly special — this is exactly why we love what we do! 🔥

A little setback with the weather, but plenty of progress behind the scenes.

Massive thanks to the lads for keeping everything moving despite the conditions.

Rain or shine, we keep pushing forward — safely, of course! 💪💛🖤

🔨🏡 QUIET ON SOCIALS… BUT CERTAINLY NOT BEHIND THE SCENES! 💛🖤

We’ve been a little quiet on here this week, but don’t worry, CMR hasn’t disappeared! 😂

Sometimes running a building company means swapping the tools for the desk, phone calls, paperwork and a mountain of organising! 📞📋

⛰️ LAKE DISTRICT PROJECT

Things are about to get VERY interesting on our major rebuild!

🏗️ Scaffolding being organised and erected
🚛 Brand-new bespoke roof trusses arriving this week
🏗️ A crane booked for the day to help remove some MONSTER structural steels and lift our new roof trusses into position!

These specially designed trusses are going to completely transform the inside of this building, creating extra space and height for the bedrooms, with some absolutely stunning views across the Lake District. 🏡⛰️

This is going to be one serious transformation, and we can’t wait to show you the next stage!

🏡 MEANWHILE, OUR BIG RENOVATION…

We’ve also been catching up on photographs of our major renovation, which is now really starting to look like a home again!

✅ Bespoke wardrobes installed
✅ Carpets fitted
✅ Media wall prepared
✅ Log burner ready for installation
✅ Finishing touches progressing throughout

Next up is the LVT flooring, followed by the final media wall and log burner installation. 🔥

After months of structural alterations, roofing, steels, plastering, plumbing, electrics and joinery, it’s brilliant seeing everything come together.

We’ve got some cracking photos to share over the coming days! 📸

💛🖤 AND FINALLY… A MASSIVE THANK YOU!

We still can’t quite believe how much work and how many enquiries keep coming our way.

The recommendations, likes, shares, comments and messages really do make a difference to a local business like ours.

We’ve worked incredibly hard to build the CMR name, and as a team we’re genuinely grateful to everyone who continues to support us.

Every recommendation matters. Every customer matters. Every project matters.

And even when we’re quiet on social media, you can guarantee there’s plenty happening behind the scenes! 😂💪

🏡💛 NEW PROJECT INCOMING FOR 2027! 💛🏡

Designed by CMR DEVELOPMENTS – Built Around Our Client’s Vision! 🔨

We’ve been busy behind the scenes working on the designs for another exciting project, and this one is going to be something special! 👀🔥

Our clients wanted to completely transform the rear of their property, creating a stunning, modern, open-plan kitchen and living space that’s perfect for family life and entertaining.

Working closely with their ideas and specifications, we’ve designed an extension that will completely change how the space looks and feels.

🔨 What’s planned?

✅ Full rear extension to bring the property in line with the existing roof

✅ Complete removal of the existing rear wall to create one large open-plan space

✅ Structural steelwork to support the new layout

✅ 4-metre aluminium bifold doors opening onto the garden

✅ Three Velux roof windows flooding the room with natural light

✅ New pitched roof designed to match the existing property

✅ A stunning kitchen layout with a large central island

From the initial ideas and designs through to the structural works and final finishing touches, CMR DEVELOPMENTS will be taking care of the entire transformation.

We absolutely love projects like this. Taking a client’s vision, putting it onto paper and then bringing it to life is what we’re all about.

📸 These are our design visuals showing what we’re aiming to achieve. We can’t wait to share the real progress when work gets underway in 2027!

This one is going to be AWESOME! 🔥

💛🖤 ANOTHER GREAT WEEK FOR CMR DEVELOPMENTS! 🔨🏡

Plenty happening across our projects again this week!

⛰️ LAKE DISTRICT REBUILD

Another massive step forward on this one…

🧱 All new 6-inch solid walls are now up to wall-plate height
🪨 Sandstone has been dressed, prepped and is ready to start laying — if this wet Lake District weather ever disappears! 🌧️😂
🏠 All new roof trusses ordered
🪟 Windows & doors ordered
🏗️ Scaffolding booked

Next big milestone is getting the new roof structure in place and the building watertight, then we can start moving into first fix.

Considering what we originally walked into after the tree damage, it’s brilliant seeing this building taking shape again — this one is going to be something special. 👀🔥

Meanwhile, back in Carlisle, our major renovation is heading towards the finishing stages…

👕 Bespoke wardrobes being fitted
🏠 Carpets incoming this week
🍴 Kitchen fitted and looking absolutely UNREAL — massive thanks to Calaburn Kitchens for the workmanship
🎨 Walls & ceilings progressing brilliantly
🪵 Our bespoke oak staircase and all 13 oak doors are now being stained — huge thanks to SH Painting for jumping on and putting the work in 💪

After months of structural work, steels, roofing, first fixes, plastering and joinery, it’s great seeing all those finishing details finally coming together.

Two completely different projects.
Two completely different stages.

Same CMR standards. 💛🖤

And we’ve got plenty more happening behind the scenes…

🏡⛰️ LAKE DISTRICT PROGRESS ➡️ BACK TO CARLISLE TOMORROW 🔨💛🖤

Another cracking few days on our latest project in the heart of the Lake District — site is now fully set up and you certainly can’t miss CMR now! 😂💛🖤

This one has already moved on massively:

🔨 Fully stripped back
🏗️ Temporary supports installed and everything made safe
💪 Structural steels now correctly installed and properly seated onto padstones
🧱 New 6-inch walls built up and now being given time to dry before we move onto the next stages

And the boss even managed to spend a full day down at the stone yard sorting through around 30 TONNES of stone 🪨😅 to find the right pieces for this particular project.

Probably easier ways to spend a day… but if we’re doing it, we’re doing it properly! 😂

This project is going to be something special when it’s finished and we’re already loving seeing it come together.

Happy clients ✅
Happy boss ✅
Happy workers ✅

But tomorrow it’s back to Carlisle to jump onto some of our other projects.

A couple are at risk of slipping behind programme following various hold-ups outside of our control — but we’ve also got to be fair and say we can’t always blame somebody else.

Sometimes, especially when you’re fortunate enough to be as busy as we are, you’ve got to stop and re-evaluate how much you’ve taken on.

Being busy is brilliant.

Having the enquiries coming in is brilliant.

Having a full order book is something we’re incredibly grateful for.

But none of that matters if we don’t continue looking after the people who have already trusted us with their homes and their money.

So it’s time to move some lads around, put the extra hours in where they’re needed and make sure every project gets the attention it deserves. 💪

Whether it’s a garage conversion, extension or a £250k+ renovation, we want every customer to feel like their job is the most important job we’ve got.

Because ultimately…

CMR is only as good as its reputation.

We’ve built the business largely through recommendations, repeat customers and people seeing the quality of our work, and we’ll never take that for granted.

Sometimes growing a business isn’t just about taking on more work.

Sometimes it’s knowing when to take stock, get everything back where it needs to be and look after every client like they’re your last.

Then we go again. 🔨💪

Quality first. Clients first. Reputation always. 💛🖤

🏡🌲 A VERY SPECIAL LAKE DISTRICT CONVERSION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN… 🔨🔥

We’ve got an amazing new project starting right in the heart of the Lake District, and this one is going to be something special.

What started life as a gym and double garage is about to get the full CMR DEVELOPMENTS treatment. 💛🖤

Unfortunately, a rather large tree decided it wanted to book a night’s stay 🌲😂 and came down onto the property, causing significant damage to the roof and structure.

Following our survey and opening things up, we’ve also uncovered plenty of previous DIY surprises…

❌ Little to no insulation within the walls
❌ Pillars constructed without the correct wall ties
❌ Structural issues throughout
❌ Roof and supporting structure requiring major attention
❌ Rear wall movement from damp-course level

So this isn’t going to be a quick patch-up.

We’re rebuilding this one properly. 💪

The works will include:

🔨 Existing pillars and lintels removed
🏠 Existing roof structure stripped
🪚 Existing floorboards, joists and supporting structure removed where required
🏗️ Structural steel correctly supported
⛏️ New foundations to the front elevation
🧱 Rear wall taken down and rebuilt
🏠 Brand-new designed truss roof installed onto new wall plates
⚡ Full new electrical installation — we’ll see if our friends at JL Electrical Services fancy the drive out 😂
🚿 New plumbing throughout
💧 New septic tank installation
🔥 Full insulation upgrade
🧱 Plasterboarded & skimmed throughout
🎨 Fully decorated
🪵 New flooring
🚿 New bathrooms
🍴 New kitchen

…and that’s still not the full list! 😅

When we’re finished, what was once a damaged gym and double garage will be completely transformed into a bespoke Lake District property built properly from the structure upwards.

Projects like this are exactly why we love what we do.

We’re genuinely grateful for the amount of work coming our way and particularly for the recommendations from previous clients, architects, trades and people who have seen our work. It means a lot that people continue to trust CMR with projects of this scale.

Plenty of videos and progress updates coming from this one — keep your eyes peeled because the transformation is going to be MEGA. 👀🔥

🔨🏡 ANOTHER GREAT WEEK ON OUR BIG RENOVATION! 🏡🔨

This week started with what can only be described as a giant oak jigsaw puzzle 😂🧩

But what a result… an absolutely stunning bespoke oak staircase, installed with literally millimetres to spare. 😅👌 It’s going to be a real feature of this property once everything is finished.

It was also NEW TOOLS DAY for the joiners 🛠️ — which meant we could get straight into making our own bespoke MDF feature wall panels on site.

No hanging around either… the decorators jumped straight on them with the undercoating and priming, followed by a cracking colour choice:

🎨 Farrow & Ball – Card Room Green

And it looks 👌🔥

Meanwhile, the rest of this huge renovation continues moving forward and every week we’re getting closer to seeing months of structural work, first fixes and preparation turn into the finished home.

And just to finish the week off nicely…

The boss has been out on a site visit for another major project 👀

A large rebuild and transformation of existing garages into bespoke Airbnb accommodation out in the Lake District. 🏡⛰️

If this one comes together, it’s going to be MEGA.

Keep your eyes peeled — there could be another serious transformation coming soon. 👀🔥

Massive thanks again to all the lads and trades keeping everything moving.

📸 We’ve been a little quiet on social media recently… and for good reason! 🛠️

The last couple of weeks have been incredibly busy for the whole CMR Developments team, with multiple projects progressing at once. We just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what we’ve been up to!

🏡 Our major renovation just outside Carlisle is making fantastic progress:
✅ All 4 bedrooms completed, decorated and ready for carpets.
✅ 1 main bathroom and 2 en-suites fully completed.
✅ All downstairs plastered, mist coated and painted.
✅ Second fix electrics well underway, with the new consumer boards being fitted next week.
✅ The entire downstairs has now been insulated, tracked out and screeded ready.
✅ Underfloor heating pipework has been installed, connected to the manifold and is now ready for the main screed pour next week.

As if that wasn’t enough…

🚗 We’ve also started another garage conversion! Last picture is the design of what it will look like
In just one week we’ve completely stripped it out, formed the new roof structure, and it’s now ready for the structural steel installation on Monday. After that it’s straight into first fix electrics and foundation works.

It’s weeks like these that remind us how lucky we are to have such an incredible team, trusted subcontractors and fantastic clients.

❤️ We’d also like to apologise if we’ve been a little slower than usual replying to messages, enquiries or quotations. Our diary is now fully booked until January 2027, and we’re doing our very best to get back to everyone as soon as we can between running sites.

A huge thank you to every single client who has chosen CMR Developments and everyone who continues to like, share and recommend our work. Your support genuinely means the world to us and allows us to keep doing what we love.

Stay tuned… there’s plenty more progress to come over the next few weeks! 👷‍♂️🏡
