Historical Architectural Metalwork:

 

WE INSPECT AND SURVEY EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL METALWORK

  • providing professional expert advice, written reports and schedules of dilapidation on the condition of both the architectural metalwork in question and on the building fabric to which the metalwork is attached.

  • Providing cost estimates to help clients decide their preferred course of action.

WE EXECUTE MEASURED SURVEYS AND RECORD DRAWINGS OF EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL METALWORK

  • carrying out measured site surveys to produce 2D or 3D CAD drawings in electronic and/or paper format to  form the basis of new works contracts and schedules.

  • producing drawings to provide a record archive for posterity

WE FORMULATE STRATEGIES AND CARRY OUT THE MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL METALWORK

  • advising on bringing dilapidated historical architectural metalwork installations - and the building to which the architectural metalwork is attached - back to their best by employing the five principles of Building Fabric Conservation; those being

    • minimum loss of authenticity

    • absence of deceit and honesty of intervention.

    • reversibility of intervention

    • minimum loss of fabric

    • minimum intervention

  • advising on remedial works for repairing damaged architectural metalwork and can provide costings for insurance claims.
