In January 2001 Lambs were approached by Skanska Construction UK Limited to survey an existing decorative doorway which had been originally manufactured from TLB Red Rubber Material.
The doorway was extremely intricate with large areas of relief carved brickwork, including Swag Details and Carved Corinthian Capitals, all these details were formed in gauged bricks with 2mm joints and because of constant wear over the years and lack of maintenance the Planning Authority insisted the doorway be replaced with an exact copy of the Gothic doorway.
Lambs submitted samples and a report of their findings to the contractor and an official quotation was forwarded to Skanska Construction for their consideration. On the 11 April 2001 Lambs received an official order from Skanska Construction to manufacture a replacement doorway and the decorative bricks were delivered to site within six weeks.
The photographs to the right clearly demonstrate Lambs commitment to deliver high quality ornate carved brickwork on time to meet the expectations of their clients.
Lambs look forward to demonstrating our expertise as master brick manufacturers, through the supply of our materials to your projects.
