At R J Salter and Son, we specialise in transforming traditional barns into stunning living spaces that combine rustic charm with modern style. With decades of experience in the construction industry, our skilled team has successfully converted barns of all shapes and sizes, creating unique properties that stand the test of time. As a family-run business, we pride ourselves on our reputation for quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
A barn conversion offers something truly special. Unlike a standard new build, every barn carries its own history and distinctive character. Features such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and natural stonework create a sense of authenticity that cannot be replicated. At R J Salter and Son, our job is to preserve these details while carefully integrating the essentials of modern living, such as:
Open-plan layouts designed for modern lifestyles
Bespoke glazing to maximise natural light
Efficient heating systems for comfort and sustainability
High-quality insulation to meet current standards
Stylish interior finishes that complement original features
The result is a property that feels both traditional and contemporary.




We combine a unique blend of traditional materials and methods with the latest technologies and techniques to deliver outstanding results. The use of cob, stonework, slate, and thatch ensures that the finished structure is sympathetic to existing buildings and the surrounding area, while modern innovations guarantee comfort and practicality for everyday living.
Our complete barn conversion service is tailored to your requirements. Beginning with an initial consultation and survey, we take the time to understand your vision and assess the building’s potential. We can assist with planning applications, liaise with local authorities, and ensure full compliance with current building regulations. From structural alterations and roofing through to interior finishing and landscaping, every stage of the project is handled by our experienced team.
If you are considering a barn conversion, get in touch with R J Salter and Son today. We would be delighted to discuss your ideas and help bring your vision to life.
