Here’s Harry story about training and working for Ian Williams.

One of the more unusual projects our team has recently undertaken was centred on a historic boundary wall at Gwaelod y Garth primary school which we had to dismantle, strengthen and then reconstruct using the original stone bricks. Located at the foot of Garth Hill, area falls under Conservation protection so all building works – including boundary walls – need to be maintained with respect to the high quality materials and architectural detailing within the townscape.

The investment into improving the fabric of this architecturally interesting independent school was undertaken to ensure that the built environment appropriately reflects the high levels of quality afforded by its learning environment. Founded in 1896, buildings on the 60-acre school site range from the late Victorian Alfred Waterhouse manor house including oak panelling, carved staircase and plasterwork gilded ceilings, to more recent modern buildings.
