DECORATIVE STONEMASONRY

Over time, as stone surfaces are worn by the wind and rain, old inscriptions and carved decorations become dulled. Before they are lost forever, our monumental masons work from the surviving carvings and any plans or documents, bringing the carving back into sharp relief. This can be done on site or back at our masonry yard.

Sometimes the original stone can’t be saved. In such cases, our stonemasons will transfer the carving to a replacement stone for a true restoration of your historic building. We can also install brand new carvings where required, perhaps to add the date on which construction originally began, or a memorial to a famous inhabitant.

If you have in your care a broken statue, dilapidated fountain or crumbled memorial, we’ll restore it to greatness. We’ll source matching stone for a satisfying finish and our expert stonemasons will carve it to perfectly fit the original design. These repairs can be extensive, covering a whole memorial, or just replace a single element, such as a statue’s missing arm.
