Although the definition of a building’s importance is subjective, AWT have been involved in the stabilisation, strengthening and repair of many historic, listed and architecturally important buildings, including:
- Historic Monuments
- Manor Houses
- Castles
- Dock Walls
- Churches
- Bridges
- Libraries
- Schools
- Town Halls
- Housing Blocks
AWT are used to meeting the sometimes demanding requirements of English Heritage and their specialist consultants involved in both architectural and structural matters. AWT’s reputation in this field is well known and is based on care and attention to detail in undertaking and often combining modern day techniques with traditional skills, thus ensuring that these buildings are safely preserved for future generations.
AWT directly employs and trains highly skilled professional operatives who are used to carrying out their work in a manner sympathetic to the existing construction. Great importance is placed on matching existing brickwork not only with the bricks themselves, but also with pointing style and mortar texture/colour, so that repairs are as unobtrusive as possible.
