David Smithset up The Flintman Company in 1988. Initially trained in the conservation field, his work continues to preserve traditional flint techniques whilst also seeking to explore the material’s use through contemporary design and architecture. His practice has evolved to include projects in the UK and abroad, most recently in Japan. The Flintman Company acted as flint consultant and contractor for the influential 2015 RIBA House of the Year winner, The Flint House, and has since been involved with numerous other award-winning projects.

It is essential for conservation specialists, craftspeople and anyone tempted to commission or build in flint.
