The railway arch has played an integral part of the rail infrastructure ever since the invention of the railways and the age of the steam train. Many started life as early as the mid 1800’s and have over the years seen a variety of uses. The thousands of arches that span across the UK have stood the test of time, ravages of weather and war have not diminished them but as with age, many are now in need of a very welcome make over.

Here at AW Group both our rail and construction businesses carry out a wide variety of services to various clients for the refurbishment, repair and reuse of the arches throughout the UK. In fact, we provide a full turnkey solution for the tenanted and vacant railway arches within the railway infrastructure.

From start to finish, we manage every aspect of the process of revitalising your arch projects with our highly knowledgeable teams who have lived and breathed 100’s of arches for years.

We currently provide teams of AW Rail operatives who specialise in arch repairs to several clients for the structural repairs to the brickwork, masonry and other areas of the arch. Whilst another part of the business provides safety critical staff and general labourers for the surveying and inspection of the same.

Working directly for The Arch Co, over at AW Construction we carry out a wide range of strip out and enabling services preparing arches for letting or sale under Project 1000, The Arch Co’s ambition to bring back into use over 1000 arches by 2030.

Under our construction arm we can further fit out any type of arch for clients, having seen these spaces being rapidly let after our vacation from works we are always happy to chat to those moving in about how we can utilise our extensive knowledge in creating the right use of space within the arch.

We provide tailored solutions for arches with extensive fitouts, such as wine bars, cafés, and offices, bakeries, microbreweries and more.

If you would like more information about how we can help you with your “Arch Projects” then please do get in touch, our team are here to help with any questions that you may have.
