Andy continues, “The works included cleaning and
restoring all of the copper lights in the listed façade and
ASWS was proposed as the preferred specialist for this,
along with other elements of the window restoration
work. ASWS executed a very competent job, including
ensuring all of the sequencing was managed correctly.”
The expertise of ASWS was material in helping JRA
achieve their goals of repurposing or recycling as much of
the original building as possible, with The Northcliffe is
on track to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding rating, putting it in the top 1% of the UK’s commercial refurbishment schemes.
ASWS is a member of the Steel Window Association and
is experienced in working with both planning authorities
and heritage bodies to ensure all conservation requirements can be met on contracts. ASWS can also carry
out the forensic dismantling, cataloguing and secure storage of metal, timber and aluminium windows while major
alterations are in progress, prior to restoration and reinstatement. As well as full replacement projects we also
specialise in full window and façade surveys.
