Two stone towers connected with a wrought iron construction at the top of an old school building.

Belzona Facts

Using Belzona we were able to preserve the original aesthetics of the building in keep with the period build of the school! Also the cost of the job was £6,500 including labour. This gave the Council a considerable saving compared to rebuilding the towers from scratch or alternative methods of repair that wouldn’t uphold the aesthetics of the building.
