A-frames

Beautiful A-Frames

Gentle surface restoration brought the exposed A-frame timber details of the Grade II listed Brierley Hill Technical Institute and Free Library back into focus. Using carefully controlled, very low-pressure cleaning, the team removed layers of paint and staining while respecting the character and delicate fabric of the historic building.

What was needed

How the surface was prepared.

The work covered the visible A-frame and beam surfaces, with low-pressure abrasive cleaning selected to lift aged paint, embedded staining and surface discolouration without the aggressive profile associated with conventional blasting. The cleaned timber was left brighter and more legible, ready for the building's next conservation or finishing stage.
