“We first came across A V V Solutions when looking for external render specialists for work on New Court, Trinity College, Cambridge. This is a Grade 1 Listed Building, and the replacement of the external render required highest quality work in replicating historic profiles and sections. AVV delivered work of the highest quality, and worked extremely well with our team and the Conservation personnel. AVV have a good understanding of the complexities of working with listed buildings and were proactive in bringing their expertise and alternative and/or traditional methods to the project. We have since ensured their appointment on another project with specialist finishes. We found their approach professional, adaptable and positively collaborative and would highly recommend them. ”

“I have worked with AVV Solutions Ltd, a sub-contractor to Quinn London on the King’s College London, Strand External Repairs. The works consisted of masonry cleaning with Stonehealth's TORC and DOFF equipment, together with stone and brickwork mortar repairs and repointing. The site manager Nico Gogolinca was knowledgeable and helpful. The AVV Solutions team cleaned the Portland stone and brickwork, ensuring that each elevation was cleaned as required, as not all elevations were treated in the same manner. Some brickwork was replaced with bricks sourced by AVV Solutions, repointing carried to the stone and brickwork, and some brickwork was tinted. Mortar repairs with stainless steel armatures were carried out on defective stonework using lime mortars. All of this work was carried out to a high standard. Regards,”

“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 as a site team have been impressed with the way you have commenced the project at Bedford Police Station, not only this but our customer has been highly complimentary of the high standard of work Adrian and the team have produced so far. In addition to this, since your start we have had 2 inspections who could not find any fault with the workmanship of your work. We really do appreciate the hard work going into this project from AVV brickwork, and to receive positive feedback from the customer at this early stage is testament to your team. ”

“We recently used AVV to undertake the brickwork package on our Queen Anne Street project and 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. Being an ex-bricklayer myself I can say that the 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.”

“Although only a very small amount of works carried out on the Elizabeth House in Wembley, which can sometimes be trickier, it was great that the guys turned up when you said, knew what they had to do, took exactly the time said it would take, no quality issues and were very conscientious about their work. Although this may sound simple, we wish our experience with all our supply chain was to this standard. So thank you and yet again AVV provide a great service which makes our life that bit easier. ”
