The recent installation of External Wall Insulation (EWI), roofing, and communal doors by ASW to the 5 blocks of flats has been excellent. From start to finish, the quality of their work and the final result exceeded our expectations. The level of professionalism  exhibited by ASW throughout the entire process was truly commendable. Their team was punctual, well organised,  and dedicated to delivering a high standard of craftsmanship. They efficiently managed the project, ensuring minimal  disruption to the tenants’ daily lives and completing the installation within the agreed timeframe.

 

The high quality of the finish of the installed EWI enhances the aesthetics of our building and will significantly improve the  insulation and energy efficiency. Our residents have noticed a noticeable reduction in heating costs, and the level of comfort  within our flats has noticeably increased. We are incredibly satisfied with the exceptional finish they achieved, and our building has been significantly improved  both aesthetically and functionally.

I would like to take this opportunity to express satisfaction with the completion of the Fire Strategy Planned Maintenance project undertaken by ASW. The successful installation of fire alarms and fire compartmentation upgrade was executed with minimal impact to adjacent spaces and occupied buildings during the refurbishment works.

 From the initial consultation to the final handover, ASW displayed a high level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. Their team of skilled professionals worked tirelessly to ensure that all fire safety measures were implemented effectively and efficiently.

 One of the standout qualities of ASW was their ability to complete the project with minimal disruption to the daily operations of the adjacent spaces and buildings. They adhered to strict deadlines and meticulously managed the construction process to ensure that the impact on adjacent areas was kept to a minimum. This level of consideration and planning deserves commendation, as it resulted in a smooth and hassle-free experience for all parties involved.

 Furthermore, the quality of the work carried out by ASW was exceptional. The installation of fire alarms and fire compartmentation upgrade were executed to the highest standards, meeting requirements. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the project, providing us with peace of mind that our fire safety measures were in capable hands.

 Their diligence, professionalism, and commitment to providing a high-quality service were evident throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend ASW to any organisation in need of fire safety services, knowing that they will deliver exceptional results with minimum disruption.

Valleys to Coast work collaboratively in a partnership agreement with ASW to deliver our Housing Maintenance Contract to over 6000 homes across Bridgend, South Wales. Mobilisation of the contract was efficient which included elements of integration of their IT systems with our management software providing real time information. They provide a range of essential services which include reactive repairs, larger planned and disrepair works and void refurbishments which also include boiler and heating installations and electrical upgrades.

ASW are highly experienced in external and internal fire safety works and are completing fire remedial works to a number of our residential buildings.  We are currently working with ASW on the installation of infrared heating with solar PV and potentially battery storage in a number of existing homes as a replacement to the natural gas fired central heating boilers together whilst also working on the installation of Intelligent Energy Systems.

I have great feedback from the team who work with ASW on an operational level and how they work collaboratively with us to improve our customer experience and standard and quality of our homes together by adopting our values and principles.

- Darrin Davies Corporate Director of Development & Growth – Valleys to Coast

ASW been successful on two large contacts well in excess of £1 million.

I have always found ASW to be professional, courteous, expedient, able to deal with variations and difficulties, and always providing input in a cooperative fashion.

The first contact involved the severe disruption to all of the residents in excess of 150, to install remedial fire compartmentation protection measures in compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document B within occupied residential flats. They were not the lowest bid but were selected by my client who were the Management Company because of their presentation and warranty.

The second contract related to substantial external fire safety cladding works, on a contract over £3 million in Birmingham and we are approximately half way through the contract.  Again, I found ASW to be very competent and has a good knowledge of appropriate subcontractors who can assist with particularly difficult technical issues.  They are cooperative, keen to assist, keen to ensure completion as quickly as possible and again in this contract, there has been an element of rehousing.  The works are very noisy and dusty and consequently there is a high level of concern by the residents, which their site management team have dealt with very professionally.

I therefore have no hesitation in recommending ASW as a competent, suitable, considerable professional contractor.

In recent years, the ASW has undertaken several projects for the installation of external wall insulation together with new roofs, loft insulation, rainwater goods and other associated works on various properties throughout Swansea. The quality of the work undertaken by ASW has been excellent. The external wall insulation has not only improved the appearance of the buildings but has also enhanced their energy efficiency, resulting in reduced energy bills for the occupants.

ASW’s communication with the affected residents during the projects has been excellent and ensured that all residents were informed about the nature of the work that was to be carried out, the timelines, and any other relevant information. ASW also made a point of being available to answer any queries the residents might have had during the project.  I wish to express my gratitude for their outstanding delivery of external wall insulation contracts and commitment to quality and communication has undoubtedly left a lasting positive impact on our community, and we look forward to continued collaborations in the future.

During this time, we have always found ASW to very responsive and approachable to our needs, with a clear commitment to continuous improvement. This is supported by the developments we have made with electronically linking our computer systems for the issuing, completing and invoicing of works, but also the requirement for the Association to establish a repairs by appointment system, at this first point of contact.

I consider ASW to be a reliable reactive contractor who we have also found to provide very friendly and constructive feedback whilst dealing with administrative queries.
