Retaining a building's facade offers numerous advantages. It preserves the architectural heritage of Treforest and Newbridge, maintaining the unique character of our local communities. It can also streamline the planning process, as preserving an existing facade may be viewed favourably by local authorities. Facade retention is often a more sustainable approach, reducing the amount of demolition waste and the need for new construction materials.

Our approach to facade retention starts with a comprehensive assessment of the existing structure. This includes a detailed survey, structural analysis, and consideration of any potential challenges. We work closely with structural engineers and architects to develop a robust plan that ensures the stability of the facade throughout the demolition and construction phases. Temporary support structures, or propping, are carefully designed and installed to provide essential stability during the retention work.
