The Details Matter

The team has been busy at Metal Street, carefully removing layers of old paint and restoring the building's original brass fittings.

It's often the smaller details that tell the story of a historic building. Through patient craftsmanship and attention to detail, these historic brass features are being brought back to life, revealing the quality and character that has been hidden for many years.

Conservation isn't just about preserving buildings—it's about preserving the features and craftsmanship that make them unique.

Charles Williams Primary School – Behind the Restoration

This room at Charles Williams Primary School is a great example of the work taking place behind the scenes as part of the wider restoration project.

The space has been carefully stripped back, allowing us to remove cement render and restore the building using traditional materials while incorporating modern safety and performance requirements.

Works undertaken include:

🔹 Removal of cement render
🔹 Installation of bespoke timber windows
🔹 New fire and smoke protection measures
🔹 Fire cavity barriers and compartmentation works
🔹 Soundproofed ceilings
🔹 Traditional lime plaster walls
🔹 Bespoke joinery

It's always rewarding to see historic buildings being carefully adapted for the future while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make them special.

Project Update – Eastgate, Cowbridge

Great progress is being made at Eastgate, and the transformation is already starting to show.

The roof has been renewed using a combination of salvaged Welsh slate from the original building and carefully selected reclaimed slate, helping to preserve the property's historic character while ensuring long-term performance.

The existing cement render has now been stripped away, allowing the building to breathe once again and preparing the walls for the application of traditional lime render coats.

It's always rewarding to see a heritage building begin to reveal its true character once more – and this project is already looking better by the day.

The new bespoke sash windows have now been installed at Charles Williams Primary School, marking another important milestone in the ongoing restoration works.

Carefully designed to complement the historic character of the building, the new timber sash windows combine traditional craftsmanship with modern performance, helping preserve the architectural integrity of the school while improving durability and functionality for years to come.

A fantastic transformation and a great example of sensitive heritage restoration in action.

At AGA Heritage Conservation, we specialise in the careful restoration of historic façades — from stone, brick, and terra cotta repairs to sensitive repointing and cleaning.

Façades are the first impression of a building, and over time, weather, pollution, and poor repairs can take their toll. Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern conservation techniques to revive original details, strengthen the structure, and ensure durability for future generations.

With every project, our goal is to reveal the beauty of the past while protecting the integrity of the building for years to come.

Building Façade Cleaning – Revealing the Details

At AGA Heritage Conservation, we understand that the façade of a building is more than just its exterior, it’s the face of its history.

Our specialist façade cleaning services use gentle, conservation-approved techniques such as DOFF steam cleaning to safely remove dirt, biological growth, and pollutants. The result? Clean, refreshed surfaces that reveal the beauty of original materials while protecting their long-term integrity.

Because caring for heritage isn’t just about preserving structure — it’s about allowing every detail to be seen and appreciated.

At AGA Heritage Conservation, traditional crafts are central to the way we restore and protect historic buildings. Disciplines such as stonemasonry, traditional joinery, gilding, leadwork, and decorative ironwork are essential in maintaining both the structural integrity and the aesthetic character of heritage architecture.

By using authentic methods and appropriate materials, these skills allow us to carry out sensitive, historically accurate repairs that safeguard the cultural and architectural value of every site we work on.

We are proud to work with a network of highly skilled craftspeople, both directly employed within our team and through trusted specialist partners, who share our commitment to excellence. These traditional skills are vital to our sector, and as we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to championing their continuity.

A great milestone for the business and a testament to the hard work of the team.
