“Construction Manager Magazine - Nov 2020 article “The original cornicing was moulded on to the ceiling and these sections were removed and later reinstated by our restoration specialist – AVV Solutions – who had to make good every individual cornice. A lot of the plaster on the walls had de-bonded – we used a ‘knock test’ to check this – and in these cases the plaster was removed under semi-controlled conditions because of the asbestos risk. This was replaced with lime plaster. The drawback here is the time it takes to dry, probably a week for two coats. Logistics was key to managing this work. We created a programme where eBrit would hack off the plaster, then AVV would follow through to replace it, moving from room to room. It gave continuity to the work.” Heritage Plastering - AVV Solutions Ltd”

“We recently used AVV to undertake the brickwork package found them to be professional and extremely well organised. The site team were great and planned their works well in advance making the programme easy to manage for follow on trades. quality was extremely good and snagging was undertaken by the supervisor as works progressed before work was offered for inspection Being a refurbishment project there was inevitably some variation and daywork but AVV were good in their application for time and cost and the final account was easy to settle as a result I would definitely use AVV again and look forward to doing so soon.””
